No I saw that. Thats why I ordered 8c. Didn't know it was going to be updated to their 10.
Think 10C wouldve made more sense. All good. Part of ordering customs sometimes.

was around the corner for work, so stopped in to ask Shey a couple q's about my imminent GMM2 order. He confirmed that the SL-C is going to be stiffer then SL... but not necessarily make it much stronger or help prevent breakage (other than the effect of not flexing as much obviously). He said the strength is in the glassing schedule. Duh. Makes sense. LOL
They also had a sick 5'9 twinsman in SL-C that didn't get colored so is on the stoke rack. Was tempted for a hot sec. Had to get out of there.
edit: Oh, and some hot goss for the Tomo-heads. He intimated that they may revisit their agreement with Dan in the future. He got the impression all those XTR orders didn't exactly translate into Oz customs direct from Dan like maybe DT had thought they would when he unilaterally ended it. Fingers crossed.

My 10.0 (which I thought was going to be 8.0) GMM2 feels great, fwiw. Not too light, but lighter than a comparable pu, and feels solid and lively so far.
damn, GMM2 and a Manny on order. Oeste's gonna have a nice Christmas
maybe his chick ordered it?
i haven't weighed any of mine to really compare. i have some 8c's, an 8 and a 10.
i think the 8c's are a little lighter than most stock PU boards. the 8 i have is a stringered midlength. it feels about like a pu middy. maybe a little lighter. the 10 i have is an SLC Disco. the weight feels perfect for what I like in a shortboard. pretty similar to a PU I think but like I said I haven't weighed any of them.
Yeah, could've been. Felt thick but I don't remember the dims, but I thought it could work for me even though I've ridden 5'10 in previously and also since XTR foam feels like it floats better IMO. Felt like it would be faaassssttt.
GMM2 not ordered but is a definite future order to upsize from my too small 5'6. Just doing my own research so I don’t order wrong
Anybody ever go team glassing?
I've had a stringered 8.0 which felt too stiff, a parallel carbon 8.c which felt too light and a stringered 8.c which felt heavier than the PC but still too light for my tastes. Was thinking of going 10.team since the foam is stronger (also heavier?) than 8.
Maybe just go stringered 10.c

I've gone team glassing. It was one of the blue foam stringer/kevlar builds, i forget what the name was. Liked the board, really nice flex and spring. Definitely lightweight though and not as bomber as the other XTR boards I've had. If parallel carbon 8.c felt too light I think stringered team would feel too light. I've come to prefer a little heavier board for most situations in the past few years. I think the SL-C 10 feels great with a nice balance of weight and flex. Definitely can feel more flex than a stringered board. Flex value says 5 on the board and that seems right. 10.c stringered is probably a safe bet though too.
I also had team on a blue high density stringered Tomo, which felt like it was about to snap during every surf. So I sold before that happened. I doubt it would have been the same with a stringer.
oh yeah, this reminds me I actually went 4+4 x 4+4 on my Plasmid. i figured a little extra glass on the bottom wouldn't hurt the twin fin install. i like this schedule for my step ups. dents on the deck don't bother me but bottom dents are triggering. the weight feels good. I think i went normal 10.0 on the Disco, whatever that schedule is (646?).
much better than eps
