Picked up my Flare (and dropped off some beer!) last week and had a blast in the high tide small waves over the weekend. I wasn't expecting it to be finished within the estimated time since Tim was traveling around the world in Australia and Japan but I got a call last week saying it was ready.

I would write a review but I searched the erbb and it seems like most people's experiences are pretty similar. Thanks to laidback and saltyNuts for pushing me towards the Flare with their own experiences. Definitely a great choice for an all around daily driver board for so cal. This was my first Stamps board done at PureGlass and it seems to be pretty good. Already smacked my rail against my truck and no damaged at all. The S glass held up great. Surprisingly this board is really light. It's the smallest board (volume) I got from Tim, but it seems a lot lighter than the others. As always, Tim was a pleasure to work with. Thanks Tim!

Still very stoked on my Grinder X squash. Best HPSB DD that I've tried. It's gotten me back into surfing thrusters.

Tim always kills it. I bought a custom scarecrow from tim awhile ago, and I think its time to get a new DD hpsb, I may go with a grinder-x this time. Has anyone ridden both a scarecrow and grinder-x?

i would day that the grinder x is a perfect DD for most of the shortboard spots in the OC . it works in just about anything from thigh high to 1 foot OH ...

scarecrow ( for me ) like at least rib high and up and worked up to well OH .

Flare looks like a money low end board too: like a grinder x with reduced rocker and wider nose.

Loving my Flare. I want to try a new Grinder X in new dims because I didn't really click with my last one. I feel like I could ride the Flare in about 90% of the days in So Cal. Haven't had any size since I got it, but I think it could have some good range. I'm pleasantly surprised with how low it can go.

That looks awesome. Good call going with the center plugs in case you want to run the board as a twin/trailer.
