There's at least one known buckled Grid posted on this thread a while back and IIRC it was repaired by a forum member. Post could be buried deep or got deleted in the forum update.

Mike said something about Hawaiian strength glassing. How much extra weight does this ad to the Board? What does it do to the Flex of a Coil Board?

I had a Haw lam board in kick. It was nice and still retained flex. It added weight, which I liked because it was a step-up.

My next board will be in the smooth tech, which I believe weighs more than kick.

I have a couple Hawaiian glass Kicks and a (former) non-Hawaiian Kick. Flex feels about the same. So does weight, especially when they get covered in wax.

I could not resist the urge to put in a new order with Mike and crew. I want to take the new smooth tech for a spin.

Taco time.

My board arrived yesterday. Very quick turnaround. Thanks to Mike, Kirk and the rest of the crew.

5'8, 20 1/4, 2 1/2 twin/trailer board for summer. Volume is 1.10. Full rails, lower rocker, and coil foil.

It's the "smooth tech," which feels similar to grid, although there is obviously more going than in the grid boards.

I asked Mike to make me something like this and said, "give me lower rocker, coil foil, and twin/trailer set up."

Thanks guys. Took it for a spin today in some mush. Worked so well. I'm running the fcs 2 MRtx and those fins feel perfect in this board. No sliding. And good pivot.

So far so good. Summer just got a lot better.

Thanks Mike and Kirk.

I got a couple wonky waves on it and it's confirmed that the board is sick... got everything including High Performance snappy feel which we all want in grovel boards, my opinion :rockin:
