Nice bort Aruka! Did you ask for light grey? That's a lighter version of the color of my Pyzel Astro Pop I got through XTR and I asked for medium grey.

I wonder if it's the epoxy brightener they use? When I ordered a grey board through Varial and mentioned my concerns that metamerism may make it look purple in sunlight, they said they'd not use the brightener and voila! my first grey epoxy bort.

Its just white. XTR 10.

8.0 which feels perfect. I like the extra wieght which feels about like a 444 poly.

I was a little worried about the volume and narrow nose when this one arrived. It feels thinner than my i72 but I could be mistaken. Didn't have any trouble catching waves and getting my wiggle on in some soft nipple high reef waves. For not having ridden a shortboard in like 4 months it didnt take me too long to figure it out and get a flow going.

I picked this up the other day. Easter egg color in pics is a more normal green in person. The deck color is blotchy so id say amateur spray job but Ill deal. QC on rest of it looks fine. I doubled checked hard edges, etc due to this thread way more than I would picking up from my normal shapers. 6'0" stock dims

which of the "10" constructions would feel most like a stock poly? Just the regular 10? 10c?

XTR10 feels pretty stiff. Ordered 8c stringered. Showed up 10 and close to inch longer then ordered.
Couple surfs on it and the magic is not there Think I hate it.
Also blue grey=purple in the sun. Literally different color than when I unpacked it.

I prefer .c over .0 but its all personal preference. It feels a little lighter and gives a little more on the deck. I have a friend that prefers .0 though and thinks it feels a more settled on bigger days. Which it probably does a little. Sounds like they messed up the order though. Try chatting with them and see what they can do.

Nah I'm 6'3x185 plus rubber. Flex value is 2 with standard stringer.
Ordered an inch longer then my magic 6'1 for winter.
Board came out at 6' 2.75"

Flex value 2 is pretty stiff in my opinion. Ordered a stringered 8.C a while ago. Super light but way to stiff (for me). Went for the same board in SL-C (stringer less carbon) 8.C and was a winner (Flex value 6). I have an 10.C in SL-C on order. When I have it in house I'll report my feedback.

Honestly never went over the flex value. Just ordered 8c stringered off what I read here.
