2.5 months from order to delivery. And absolutely, can't beat the value for a custom that will last from a reputable shaper/company and shey is easy as can be to talk to and responsive. But im done ordering stretch style rails channels, my past 2x haven't been very deep, mehhh. But they did an awesome precise job with the bottom channels!!
Just don't raise prices and I'm a returning very happy customer!

If your thinking about epoxy construction, they are worth checking out. Their boards last, dont suck water if dinged, priced well, good shaper lineup, and I like the way they feel under my feet. More lively than PU, but less corky than typical eps epoxy. Only time I don't use them is if I specifically need a pu board for something like a step or I'm working with a shaper they don't offer.
Main reason I’m interested in using them is getting a couple Maurice Coles. No hurry so I gotta see if MC is gonna be shaping stateside anytime soon, if possible I’d rather he shaped them.
I just got a RV Diamond Twin in xtr. It's t!ts. Rails are foiled and thinned nicely, hard edge the bottom third of board, and channels are crispy and detailed. No complaints other than the deck channels depth. Such a good paddling and fun board. Would never guess it's 2 3/4 thick
Idk if I would count on MC himself being around anytime soon, although I may be wrong. I know he recently had massive heart surgery but is surfing again---recently in bali!

I am not sure looks like they carry fireturds now but Central Coast Surf used to stock MC boards and I thought at one time you could order customs when he was stateside maybe @stringcheese can help you see
Im a big fan of xtr but I’m gonna warn you the Maurice coles I have got from them are a bit off defiantly not the same a getting a board from Maurice or even Carlos. The vee was too Subtle in the boards are too foiled out your better off get a poly from Carlos
Xtr has a few stock MC boards that they say are hand-shaped by the man himself. Also just saw they have a RV Diamond Twinzer now
I inquired the people at realwatersports who makes their MC's and the PU boards you see there are made at the XTR HQ. (Adding to the XTR-MC relationship)
@tedshred5 Do you still dig your XTR rnf retro? What fin config worked best for you?
I rode a bru’s 5’9” (oversized for me) in lite speed in some waist to gut k38 waves
and fell in love. Dialing in my dims and hoping for some fin feedback.

I haven't had mine in awhile - sold it a few years back, but it was a reliable small wave DD for me. I think I liked the Haydenshapes Large quads the best. I don't click with split keels quads.
At the time when I was riding it a lot, I was about 180# on a stock 5'6. I'd be on a 5'7 nowadays.
