I have yet to try any of the fancier constructions and I find the wood stringers to feel normal (not overly stiff) but I'm 180-190, ymmv.

No, a stringered XTR will not be super stiff unless you glass it heavy. I like 8.C glassing the best.rts265 said:Thinking I’ll do wood stringer. Will it be super stiff? Will I regret not going SL-CK?
Switched it to a 6'1 with a little bit wider and thicker than stock dimensions.Aruka said:shoot, I'm sorry. I was just literally hemming and hawing over F15 dims, trying to decide between a 6'3 and 6'4 when I saw your post and then it made me question everything lol

Stocked. Glad I switched mine up, sounds like TP would have suggested the same.Aruka said:Right on.Racer1 said:Switched it to a 6'1 with a little bit wider and thicker than stock dimensions.Aruka said:shoot, I'm sorry.

FWIW I emailed patterson with my dims (6'3" x 175) and was told 6'3" or 6'4" for length for daily driver duties.
I went 6'4", squarsh, lil wider and thinner than stock.
Now you got me wondering if I should have gone 2 1/2" instead of my usual 2 7/16" :tomato:Racer1 said:Stocked.

I texted my buddy, former pro now a team manager, about ordering from TP he said, "Boards feel about 1/16th thinner than what's written. I've only ordered three from Timmy and they've all been F15's. Super fast, good on rail, good in the air, good at everything. Merrick large or JS large. You won't be disappointed."
Cheaper to ship 2 in a box Racer? Do you email and Javier helps you work out dimensions? Do the shapers check them at all? I’ve seen a bunch of Tomo boards that look like they were signed by Dan.Racer1 said:Switched it to a 6'1 with a little bit wider and thicker than stock dimensions.Aruka said:shoot, I'm sorry.

MrSteve said:Exactly! Made to LOOK LIKE they were signed by Dan, but we know better than that. But don’t let that discourage you from ordering one, it never stopped me...I’ve had lots of gems from XTRsakana_kid said:It's all a clever ruseRacer1 said:I’ve seen a bunch of Tomo boards that look like they were signed by Dan.Aruka said:shoot, I'm sorry.

Shey told me boxing two together and shipping them actually costs more than boxing 2 individually and shipping. I think it gets cheaper if you go for 3. Don't ask me why...sakana_kid said:Cheaper to ship 2 in a box Racer? Do you email and Javier helps you work out dimensions? Do the shapers check them at all?

Come on Goodfish, order that Phantom. I know you have plenty of room on that rooftop for more boards.Goodfish said:Shey told me boxing two together and shipping them actually costs more than boxing 2 individually and shipping.

This sale pokes me to order a Phantom, but...I...will...resist...
Like somebody said above it's cheaper to ship one for some reason. They only charge $99 shipping to Hawaii. So with the promo code, it's free shipping. The one xtr Tomo I had was hand shaped by Dan (pre-FW, early days), so I can't speak on others. I think XTR takes the boards to the shapers (local ones) for QC and to sign off on them? That was my understanding.sakana_kid said:Cheaper to ship 2 in a box Racer? Do you email and Javier helps you work out dimensions? Do the shapers check them at all?
