Stoked It seems like this’ll be an option. I’d love to get my next board in varial.
Not sure. That seems like a lot of back and forth if Varial is cutting, going to the shaper to finish, then back to Varial for vacuum bagging, then back to shaper.
These fx‘s look like a good time for average surf with the wider nose and tail. Any of you guys have one or checked one out in person?
I had a custom round tail FX years ago. It was a good time. Good low end but not so flat that it would get overwhelmed by a decent wave. For the design think I should have just stuck with the default squash tail.
Flare are also a great, versatile design as many on here will tell you.
also fx vs flare? or just go wtf for small stuff? want to shred small gravel longboard waves when the wfhers misread the forecast
I’ve never had a fx but I’ve owned 3 wtfs and quite a few flares over the years. If you want a board that flys in anything chest high below/mushy small surf get the wtf. The flare also rips but the wtf is a must have in my opinion
for absolute gravel waves, WTF.
My buddy just got his 2nd 6-1 v12. Only change is .25" narrower.

Flare is a weekend warrior friendly short board. It grovels, but you have to surf it right to grovel.
I rode mine knee to shoulder but eventually stopped riding it in the smaller stuff bc COVID crowds, mid length revolution and that sort of thing.
