Do you work on an alternating odd or even week system for board purchases?I think SurfStation in FL might be the only mainland shop that carries Akila boars.
Damn. If I hadn’t just yoloed a Varial Phantom yesterday, I would snag this roundtail:

used boars don’t really count, right? For some reason, I have no problem spontaneously buying and selling used ones on CL. I guess it helps they’re usually closer to 50-70% of new. So I have myself convinced I am getting a deal while I experiment with different shapers or designs.
I dunno man. There’s way worse sh&t I could be doing.
Which shaper is it through? That is definitely not like them. They don't have any control though over how quickly the blank gets shaped. Also you should just hit them up and ask. They're not like other shapers where if you ask them a question while waiting on a custom they threaten to fuck up your rails and send you a dog.Im 4.5 months into my wait for a custom varial. Anyone else waiting this long or did they lose my order?
This is a fantastic idea.My work started doing fitness equipment reimbursements. I have convinced them surfboards fall under that so it covers a new board each year for me. Yeaah boyz
Sounds awfully long. My Album took about 7 weeksIm 4.5 months into my wait for a custom varial. Anyone else waiting this long or did they lose my order?

Its a channel islands ultra joe as a replacement for the puddle jumper HP they sent me that was a full inch wider than i ordered. They blamed lost and offered me 200 off another board plus color and shipping which i begrudgingly accepted.Which shaper is it through? That is definitely not like them.

Yes. Varial is being used in a lot of pipe/jaws guns. So, yes. I surfed my varials on big Maui days with excellent success. Dampens chop like PU.Curious if anyone from Central or NW:koolaid, aruka, etc or who surfs Blacks would ever consider going varial tech for semi or gun or even step up lots of h20 moving
My CI order took quite awhile too. What was odd was 2 were done long before the third. In touring the CI factory they mentioned one shaper in a room near Britt’s does all the Varial orders.Its a channel islands ultra joe as a replacement for the puddle jumper HP they sent me that was a full inch wider than i ordered.

Fwiw I’ve ridden my Varial plasmic at blacks without issue. But, it was summer/fall and not big (around hh max) but still afternoon chop and it never felt corky or weird.Curious if anyone from Central or NW:koolaid, aruka, etc or who surfs Blacks would ever consider going varial tech for semi or gun or even step up lots of h20 moving
I havent had a semi gun or step up in varial yet but i have considered one. I think varial feels pretty suited to that type of design with a damper ride than eps or even xtr and you could get a bit of glass without ending up with mega heavy board.Curious if anyone from Central or NW:koolaid, aruka, etc or who surfs Blacks would ever consider going varial tech for semi or gun or even step up lots of h20 moving
I'm at the same point. Albums. But I think its because theyre carbon.Im 4.5 months into my wait for a custom varial. Anyone else waiting this long or did they lose my order?

same... got a fish on the company dime last year, hopefully I can paddle it and I'll get another next monthThis is a fantastic idea.
Why you fixing XTR dinks? The foam doesn't absorb water.what do these things do when they hit the reef or rocks? do they crack through glass or just get a dent? kinda thought the xtr with the heavy glass wouldnt ding so easy but i find im fixing them just as much as pu. friend had a coil and slipped on the rocks getting out of a keyhole and it didnt have a ding at all thats waht id be hoping for
