Like 10 years ago I had an Allan Gibbons pu/ epoxy that was plain white but in the right light it had a bright purple hue. I even had people comment on it. Someone got a little heavy handed with the optical brightener I guess.
In my experience they don't really reach out on the start unless there is a comment you added that they need more info on. I usually have some dialog back/forth before ever submitting the order than they contact me back when the board is ready for pickup. They have a status chart on their website they update every week or 2. Its not always accurate, but its nice to see the order documented somewhere and get a rough idea what stage its in.
Bros false alarm. Purps returned. Just needed to marinate a little.
Thanks. I ended up tweaking the dims a bit and emailed them about it and they got back to me to confirm. It’s now listed on their status chart, so the wait begins!
Did you tell them where to put the Album logos and which ones you wanted, or do they just do whatever? I never discussed that part of it with them.
I've never gotten that specific with the shaper logo's. Usually I just choose the rail or bottom placement for the xtr ones off the form.
never ordered xtr but you should be able to spec lams as long as the shapers can provide them.
But - try and get them not to do the xtr 10.0 rail lams, lol.
Lol yeah I definitely specified that I wanted the xtr lams on the bottom. they do give you the option for that
Very different builds. XTR uses closed cell extruded foam and laminates by hand using traditional methods with or without a stringer. Dark Art uses eps foam and vacuum bags carbon onto the skin of the entire board.
Dark Artistry is the corkiest surfboard you'll ever find. Crazy light. Ik people on this forum have ordered some as step ups, but I would only consider it for a groveler/daily driver.
XTR is a bit less corky, seems to handle chop a bit better especially with the stronger glassing option. I would say XTR is more versatile. Dark Arts is really cool obviously, but I'm not completely convinced it's worth the extra $400 or whatever. Why not Varial? I think XTR for groveling and daily driver, Varial for good wave driver and step up, and PU for guns would be about the best.
Xtr is buttery while ive found dark arts is more creamy in how they surf.
5'2, SL-C, FCS2, it's like that thing was made for you Frodo!!!I spy with my little eye, a 5'2".
How much for the stock boards?
haha. It really is. If I were to order custom that would be exactly what I would order.
Hmmm.. Strange coincidence? Or destiny?
4 Tomos?? WTF? Is XTR making Tomos again? It's not on the site. Or am I missing that this is an old screen shot?
