FWIW, his boards looked beautiful. Really well finished and shapes looked great.
There was a whole booth of boards with logos stating made in X
But really made in Y
No shame anymore

this is exactly why some people are afraid to yolo.
we NEED a yolo safe space.

Yeah, hope the boar is a good one but the web stuff is just odd. Imma give that shaper the benefit of the doubt and assume he is not tech-savvy and just outsourced it to a lazy/unscrupulous web designer. But you'd think he'd want to describe what potential customers are being told when they look for info on his various boars. It's lame.
More !
The first person to make a website for me did so after picking a board up for a freind .
He started making boards while making good money at oceanic cable
He took a Tokoro shape to a machine service and asked to have it scanned
They said no can't do that - Wades shaping here right now !
He made a website for himself and used my history as his own .
He did okay but went back to college
He now has a doctorate in Psychology ,written a book and just received a multi million dollar grant .
Shameless board building pays off once again !!
Did you quote your own post? Haha.
Thetes a shaper that’s getting some buzz right now that Wade and Kerry helped in the beginning. Sharing templates and techniques. When he started his own brand he would tell customers that his boars were just like Tokoro’s but $100 cheaper. Duuu evolved into a good shaper/designer from feedback I heard about his boars. But too many examples of shadiness that I’d never trust him to build me a boar.

i saw that one and was tempted as well. if it was a 5-8 i may have pulled trigger.
Interesting that they glassed it 646. If I was going to get a Varial I'd 100% get at least 644 but maybe even 646 isn't too bad? As a personal preference I would always rather give up a bit of performance to get more durability and less chances of snappage
646 varial feels about like a standard glassed PU board. definitely not as heavy as a 646 PU would be.
they still dent pretty easy tho.
sh!t, that's a buzzkill. For some reason pressure dents drive me crazy. I think I'm slightly neurotic or something.
If 646 varial feels like normal PU, maybe I would get 666 with epoxy infused or just get carbon wrap.
yeah deck dents don't bother me overly much but bottom dents kinda suck. i dunno if epoxy resin or carbon will make much of a difference. carbon i could see helping but it's still tbd. i'll know in a couple/few months. i have a feeling it's just the nature of the foam. they surf nice, anyways.
Ok well thanks for the info. I have heard a lot of good things, I'm thinking about getting an Insanity or a Sabotaj as a good wave board in Varial tech.
Looking forward to the carbon wrapped Varial review
Id have been all up on it had it been stonk dims.
My plasmic is 644 but compared to my stonk pu/pe album it’s super light under arm and while sirfung.
overall pleased with the denting - less than my experience with CI pu/pe boards from 10yrs ago.
