Never tried one, but most of the ones I've felt up have been unashamedly thicc n chunky in a retro way.

The one i saw on the used rack is a black, short, wide, thick quad with glassed on wood fins.
I had know idea it’s a “sought after” shaper and thought to myself, “if it was half this price it’s be fun to give it a whir…..”
$500 if I recall…
Might still be there.
But McCallum was often considered inaccessible .
I used to love asking the hipsters how I could get in touch with him to order a board just to see the reaction (I didn't actually want one)...was like asking for a reservation at Dorsia.
If I ordered one I'd bring a $2 bill to be glassed over in lieu of the $1 he does...increasing the retail value by $1K..."OMG what does it mean? The most ironic glass job in history."

I already thought of that
uncirculated $2 bill my grandfather gave to me when I was young.

I think I remember hearing/reading that he made a point to buy his boards back from people in order to control supply in the market.
That was always what I figured.
All of the meticulous, small brand, boardmakers have long done well in Japan.
I've definitely received boards, or seen boards on the rack and immediately thought, "this never would have made it out of the factory if it was a Japan order". Conversely, most American customers would not pay what the Japan orders pay.
bizarre
In the book it is.
And a decent analogy as pertains to said variety of elitism.

Fck, that thing is ugly. Looks like it was shaped n glassed as a middle school science project. Black is tough, it really shines a bright light on any imperfections…
The ones I've seen "used" on CL always seem/say unridden or look like they were maybe ridden once.
Love what they did with the laps. If Album has "pizza box stains"...then those are "yummy jizzrope entrails."
Bro, haha.
You clearly don't get it.
It's supposed to be ironic.
Do you even fisherman beanie?

… people post some ugly a$$ fcked up lookin boards up in here n they get praised sometimes, other times not… hard to tell up from down in this place sometimes.
That thing is so fcked looking that if someone gave it to me for free I grind the fins off, keep those n toss that thing in a dumpster fire
If I recall correctly Superwolf "Alex" has been one of Jeff's lead glassers for a long, long time. Boards work, Jeff's been a local SD guy doing his own thing for a couple decades. Worked for CC back in the day, and charges legit Blacks when it's on.
Solid guy.
Solid guy.
This may be the loosest definition of an egg I've seen. I've seen eggs defined by outline and rail shape. This one falls in neither category...
