This is such a rad looking board. Better outline than the Fling, IMO. I like the pulled in nose.

So what is the deal with the smooth? Is it just their "hawaiian lam" or standard glassing?

That’s my old MegaMind which Mike shaped me. It’s a really great board. I’ve now replaced it with an updated, larger version.
Someone should grab it though. I sold the board on Clist, so it’s not my posting.
Gotta love how virtually indestructible Kirk’s builds are. Every time they turn up used, the post says the board is in excellent condition.

I saw that in person the other day when I sold a few boards there (had to pay for my new Coil 2 pack!). Great looking board. I was tempted to snag it but I think it's a little on the small side for me.5'4" x 21 x 2 1/2 Coil Industries "Quad Fish" Surfboard - The Board Source

Can't say as I've never had the hawaiia lam. Kirk did mention that the smooth tech would be 'beefier' and 'stronger' than the standard dimple lam, which is their lightest glassing schedule.
One of my old coils from 2014 pops up on craigslist every year or so and it still looks great and "excellent condition."
I usually opt for the "Hawaiian lam" on all my Coils as I'm pretty tough on the decks (presumably mostly from aggressive/hectic duck-diving in shallow beach breaks and planting and landing hard off bottom turns and other antics). The Hawaii Lam is not immune to dishing a bit under knee or heel (and neither are the fabled "indestructible" Lib Techs; I can testify!), but it certainly holds up MUCH better than other tech and I haven't had one fail on me since opting for it. It kinda breaks in and stays comfortable under-foot for years.
The Hawaii Lam I've received has always been the dimpled finish to date, but I'd be interested in smooth finish if an option.

New board arrived Saturday. 6'1, meant for better waves. 1.15 ft^3. Took it out in less than intended conditions and had a good time. Smooth bottom and a less aggressive dimpling on top than previous. Weight feels perfect.
Nice looking board! It’s hard to tell from the pictures, but is it a variation of blur? Widerboard?
My Coil is done. Got super cheap second hand at $170, but now it's just falling apart. The construction makes it hard to repair. Leaking along the rails because of that brittle stupid carbon fiber and its shitty bond to the golf ball material. The golf ball skin holds up really well. No pressure marks or anything on the top or bottom of the board. It's just the rails that have gone to sh!t.
I've had it since February 2019 according to this thread.
