Good job on lifting the wing out of play leaving a clean flowing template similar effect of a elevated wing
I totally agree. I'm sure the squash works but it just doesn't look good at all.
Hey I recently got a midlife board that smaller in relation to my height & weight. We all slowdown at different rates, I guess. Enjoy the crutch!
Must be pretty shaved down to hit 36L I imagine at those dims? Looks like it from the pics.
Does not grovel well at all needs some push works great at beach break and sharky reef. I would say more of a glide and carve ride specially with twin set up then crutch mid trying to sb.I have plenty of sb dd and hpsb I can still ride from 27l to 29l and reason why I work hard to stay in shape. Still waiting for you to post current height, weight, and waist size or wetsuit size but I guess if you need a fireturd at 40l meant to be hpml then you must be pretty fat. Also waiting to drool all over my screen after you post pics of your fireturd quiverHey I recently got a midlife board that smaller in relation to my height & weight.

Is that just the lighting or is the rail beveled at the sting? My first new surfboard way back when Bertlemann, Buttons and Liddel were making headlines had a beveled sting. It did some weird slip slidey stuff, but I loved the board.
Yes I scored a 6' Aipa (RIP) single stinger in high school I loved same deal with slippery feel and this was my mutated creation which was ten fold with twin set up feels real nice in trim when wave has push or even better barrel. The sting acts like extra fins and kinda gripes wave face
Wow, impressive for a little old guy.
That doesn't even make sense.
40 liter volume of fireturd equals 60 liter normal board and "hpml" high performance mid length "mid6"Wow, impressive for a little old guy.
That doesn't even make sense.
The volumes not impressing anyone but good reason to go custom and talk to shaper so board works for you
Volume is the 3d space enclosed within a surface, numbnuts. I think thunderbolt construction weight is somewhere between "normal" (whatever that is) EPS and PU.
I wonder how the volume on your mutant It was calculated, btw. Was a computer used to modify the shape? Say it isn't so!

Can't teach a ole kook new tricks.....
No computer just two fins added "twin" with 2win model fin placement pretty sure stretch and team has down pretty good by now 
Only reason volume got mentioned was doc asked but I never even talk volume or worry about it with actual shaper
When I go to Malcom or Dylan at Stretch I go with height, width, and thickness of said board then let them decide what or how to cut out blank These are important things to going custom not just pretty tint jobs and even though you can find if you know what you are looking for a board used or otr a shaper "non taiwan sweat shop" can make you a custom ride just for you
cstreet bezt to keep to yer crutch thread to surf mushburger point. Kook like you could poke yer eye out talkin' about pintails

It's highly unlikely that anyone would bother measuring volume on a hand-shaped board. CAD modified/machine cut is the only other way to know the volume. Might as well have sent the file offshore to Taiwan and have the kids there construct it. Oh, but that would violate your heartfelt capitalist principles. Couldn't do that. 
Or you could actually read post and see volume has no bearing on my board(s) and any other surfer who has ever ordered a custom board or bought a used or off the rack board. Volume is kinda cute way to know if board is going to float you or not is (60 still no clueIt's highly unlikely that anyone would bother measuring volume on a hand-shaped board.

) unnecessary and most "if done long enough" can simple get more accurate info by just picking up a board (after you know:height, width, and thickness) and feeling her out
Kook you don't need to cut blank to find volume plenty of software programs to figure out and most big brands: (ci, lost, pyzel) have calculater for all models on site

I was just pointing out that because your modified It lists volume it indicates that it was CAD modified and machine cut, something a backward purist like yourself seems to find upsetting for some reason.
Being backward purist has nothing to do with being smart enough to realize taiwan sweat shop construction can not match up to CFT, varial, xtr, pu/epoxy or hell any glasser who does decent job glassing pu/pe and 1k for a turd board is over priced for material and craftsmanship
100% sure untrue and I know as fact Dylan at Stretch factory uses cad program on pc to see board design etc but as far as I know has no machine to cut at factory but my other shaper Malcom Campbell has erbb legend "Sharky aka gws" cut his blanks and roughly cut the "bonzer kool aid" into bottom of board etc then Malcom does all the fine tuning by hand.

I remember when guys like Jimmyboy (aka, shaka guy) thought the new-fangled thruster fin setup was for kooks. It's hard to get traditionalists out of their comfort zone.
