@ehiunno - Not really sure how it came out so thick.
@oeste858 - I plan to email them and ask them to verify that it was at least cut with a stock 6'5 file. I can't figure out how it could come out so thick.
@surfysurfy1476 - I understand there is some thickness to a 3 inch board. I have never weighed less than 215 lbs during the last 15 years. So I've had my share of thick boards to float me. I at least have an idea of what thick performance boards look like. This board is ridiculously thicker and less foiled than a PU Ghost that I felt up. Your Ghost looks like what I would expect. This board does not look like that.
I can't be the only one that thinks the board looks incredibly odd. It doesn't look like any other Ghost that I've held in my hands.
Let me put it this way: Would anyone here walk into a shop and look at my stock 6'5" XTR Ghost and buy it?
EDIT: Look at how thick the nose and mid point of the orange Ghost is compared to the white one posted above.
