Good to see this thread bumped again. :cool:

Went by Hansens a couple weeks ago and they had a few ...Lost Smooth Operators in stock in the 7' range. Their main board Buyer said things are starting to rebound and a lot of their orders are finally coming in, but that many were placed as far back as November and arent expected to be received until this month. Expect to see a lot more boards hitting the racks soon.

Dave started making these around 1995

He was having many glassed at Bill Barnfields shop in Haleiwa
so you're calling Havoc a liar that he was riding them in the early 90's?!
LOL. Just kidding.
The question is: when is the fire sale so I can buy some (more) of @Havoc 's shortboards or fish/stubbies that he no longer has any use for? Are you still holding on to them, or have you truly committed to that ML Life with an all >6'8 x19 3/4" quiver?? Surely you're running out of space with all these big boar additions...

Just added a 7'7" x 22&1/2 x 2&3/4" long fish to the quiver. Nice and eco friendly with the exception of the eps blank. Paulownia with cork rails and bio resin. Made by a young local shaper of wooden boards for his own use. Flat rockered and foiled out since he's a lightweight so should be pretty ease to move around since I weigh plenty more than him. Next to a 6'4" for comparison.20210812_163805.jpg20210812_163836.jpg20210812_165058.jpg
