Yes if your trying to surf wct tour style a mid length with rail grabs and tail slidesBoard looks giant on him, no?
FixedBoard looks awful on him, no?
Key words or videos like this regardless of shaper turn me off like fish like template, daily board regardless of size, etc....I knew that would be your response despite what board it was (Rusty) but I have to agree
I'm always honest.I knew that would be your response despite what board it was (Rusty) but I have to agree
That is fvkcin funny.I thought they were going to finally release the Zeke model which looks like a tweaked SD
How long ago was that custom order that got mixed up???I was messing around with Rusty's volume calculator and found it interesting that if I kept everything else the same, but changed the age parameter from my actual age of 50 to 32, the recommended volume changed by one liter.
I'm just as fit and surf as well as I did 18 years ago and ride pretty much the same board dimensions, hell, I'm only six months older than Slater!
Rusty is ageist! Well; maybe not, but they did f'up my last custom with them; ageist I say!
Reprogrammed to suit the COVID surfer.Because something is up with the volume calculator, I think it is spitting out #s that are 'off', suddenly it seems they are overvoluming.
This was five years ago and the issue was a WAY off center (center) fin plug. They made that right, but the remade board felt and rode much different than a early version of the Barking Spider that I brought in to get copied.How long ago was that custom order that got mixed up???…
Weird. Maybe an urban surf legend, but isn't "impossible" to recreate the same board even if the dims are identical; something I probably heard as a kid and its just stuck, as I contemplate recreating my Zeppelin.This was five years ago and the issue was a WAY off center (center) fin plug.

Yeah, there are too many variables to expect getting the same board from the same file. I know some shapers keep notes of how many sanding passes etc., even with only one set of hands touching a board, which doesn't happen very often with big labels, unless you're one of their main team guys, there's going to be some very slight variation. A wood stringered blank adds an additional variable that's next to impossible to be exact.Weird.

And absolutely love my Barking Spider, so versatile!
Yeah, seems impossible if it gets touched by human hands at all. Too many variables. anyone I know that’s brought a magic boar back to the shaper to recreate… never the same. You may get another good/great boar, but it’s different. Maybe a 100% computer & robot shaped/sanded/glassed boar could be replicated… but where’s the magic & romance in that?Weird.
