He finishes the Varial. They just cut the blank.
Stamps told me he was carefully measuring every cut coming back from Varial and they were all perfect.

Just ordered a Timmy two pack. Details to follow.
Need some advice - I currently have a kai zen twin + trailer that is my favorite board right now. It's not sized as a groveler, but more of an everyday board that can get down to waist-high with push.
I'm gearing up for a yolo or two when I'm fully employed again, and I want a proper thruster from Tim. What board am I going to enjoy the most? Grinder, GX, or Flare? Grinder I'd size for average winter days... Chest - HH. GX, I hear has more range, so it'd be similarly-sized to my kai zen. Flare would be something I'd hope to reach for when it's thigh - chest.
Basically, what should the next step in my Stamps journey be?

seems like Flare would overlap the most with your Kai zen, so maybe GX
Pretty sure the Kai Zen is a modified Flare with less tail rocker.
I’ll post my boards, both poly and clear. Keeping things simple.
wish I had gone poly on my 6'6 banjo...its too light and floaty...note for the future..mid lengths are gonna be poly only
besides the eps how do u like it? where is the trail edge opening of the fin box relative to swallow tip?
Yeah. Need some weight for that glide. Especially when you’re a lighter dude.
I'm struggling with it...it paddles weird for me too...I paddle my 5'5 keel better than this long banjo! I'll look and let you know...its fast though!
i have a 6'9 long line tkf u can try that paddles and catches waves really well. loose too due to forward fin placement.
Semi-Long fish can be weird, imo. not great at most things, but good enough at many.
