And possibly some more focus on himself and the people he knows.Yeah. I dunno. I just wish he'd be a little more cryptic in explaining design concepts. It's almost too easy to understand after erBB!
I feel like the off the rack boards are glassed weak, reminds me of CI. Their customs always look top notch. Haven't ridden one in years but loved a c5 phiranna back early 2000s
Had a few OTR’s from their boardroom clearances. All were bulletproof bought for $400, sold for $400 a couple years later. What more could you want from the duuuuu.
imo his backyard clearances is a nice touch to hook up the locals loyal to the brand. have to catch the word of mouth or you miss out. used to regular the LJ boar room and the shop groms were quick on the deets.
Rusty gets a high five from me if I ever see him IRL.

It's really weird.
Mine have always been pretty much golfballed after the first or second surf. OTR or custom. Nose to tail.
Destroyed when correctly sandwiched in the boardbag while other manufacturer's boards were unscathed.
No such problems for other people.
They promise and deliver 2 - 3 weeks wait times. Do they push the limits of the blanks? Do they use whatever blank is available i.e. if the right type of blank is there but it's a comp weight do they just use it? Makes me wonder if being on the smaller side of average 'Merican might be a disadvantage when ordering.
People notice the construction - the light weight, the beautifully sharp edge on the tails (really fucking beautiful), the "pro glass schedule" which was ordered 4x4x6 - all this gets comments when guys pick them up for a fondle.
I tend to think it's a blank thing. My Slayer 2 basically acquires at least one large water related pressure dent every surf.
It really has been a huge deterrent to me ordering from them.
One of the local shops stocks them.
surprised how meaty the Keg is .
thought it would be rockered out but it doesn't feel it.

Pretty sure the R. Shop on 15th St in Del Mar is still open. Just the La Jolla one closed last year.
RDM on 15th is still open. My son works there an afternoon or two a week. They have limited stock (in my opinion) compared to other shops as it is also a tourist beach shop.... I think the factory store is open most days and should have a good selection.
