I’d like to see Javier add some of the big Aussie shapers to his roster, like JS and DHD.

There's random shapers that i've seen in XTR, wonder who is on the secret menu
I saw DHD was doing some poly/epoxy boards with different foam on different sections, they looked like a pain in the ass to make.
CI has the varying density carbon and fiberglass layup stringers on their EPS models.
After STAB reviewed the spine tek, manlet Michael Chimichanga suggested it needed more flex
They put a small, medium and large version out with different thickness/ stiffness of stringers.
speaking of weird chit, Mayhem teasewd these Agave boards a while back and im still waiting on them, they looked interesting but probably isnt much more than veneer on eps. Still cool looking,

I was thinking of their Fusion Dual Core: EPS core with PU rails
Yeah, that's been around a while. Several people are doing/have done variations, most notably DHD's Epoxicore.I was thinking of their Fusion Dual Core: EPS core with PU rails
Yeah, those Arakawa XO's had me interested, a little too much money getting one to Southern California for me.
Those took off like a lead balloon. Don't think he's doing it anymore either
Lightbender arrived today. Feels pretty good. A little chunky in the rails but not terribly dissimilar to my Townsend of the same thickness. Wish they had consulted me on the leash plug placement though.
Yeah I would like it further back and centered on the swallow. It probably won't impair my serfing but it looks odd and somewhat randomly placed.
if ur reg foot u want it on right swallow else it’ll wrap ur boar when shatting on ur boar waiting for a set wave
add a second plug!
album folks need to start a thred.

yeah sorry I wasn't very clear in my reply. I like the plug on the right side of the swallow but just further back and more in line with the swallow tip. just a nitpick.
Album fascination twins from NVS. Those are what I like in my Townsend so I figure it's a good place to start. Surf forecast looks fittingly atrocious.
Board looks great, love the color.
My Shadow was marked done on the sheet Friday (QC the previous Friday) and I still haven't gotten a shipping notification :-(. I emailed them and haven't heard back. Not sure what the deal is, I might try to call them today but I don't want to be "that guy". Going on 9 weeks now but obviously things are tough for everyone right now so I don't hold it against them at all.

Maybe Lib Tech? Decent ding resistance and closed cell foam.
