Hmmmm, I'm getting old but I believe Dave was still there when it all went down.Yes after Dave left I think AJ was shop manager
I knew Dave pretty well back then and he wanted to put my name in the hat to take over his position. I wasn't ready to move to SC even if Stretched picked me.I think you are right Dave came after AJ because I think AJ was only around for 1 of my boards
Dave turned out to be from my home town and even went to same high school a million years after me. Super nice guy offered a couple times to drive my nrw board down while visiting his mom. Great vustomer service once over sanded one of my FU#3 fcs bases and sent me another free
@grg didn't Dylan take over after and they just made him a bigger hat to wear "DO More"?
I’m sure I’ll regret asking the internet about this can of worms….but what “went down”?
and I second stretch ships boards like all boards should be packaged. Wish everyone did that, we’d all have fewer bummer stories. Sorry man, sux
Thats rad and he is a good guy for sure. We chat every once and a while and he's well on his new gig.Dave turned out to be from my home town and even went to same high school a million years after me.

Yes, Dylan took over after.
Totally agree. I've been getting a couple of Varials together with DAs and their packing is how it should be done for such a premium product. I really don't get where this issue could come from a team with so much expertise on their shoulders.
Email send.
+1 for varial pro packaging.
agree, sounds like growing pains for dark arts, someone thought they knew shipping optimizations. wonder if they’ll green wash the spin and say “we aimed for less waste!”

have received boards from album, varial, and real watersports all of which were packed excellently
i can't believe they would pack a board that gucci like that

The packaging on those DAs is inexcusably poor for any surfboard but even worse for such a premium product.
He was very happy to get out of the Bro Brah Surf Industry.Good to hear he is doing good is he still in surf industry
Dave wasn't there when it "went down".
Basically, Stretch caught AverageJoe downloading all of his files and in doing so corrupted them which resulted in stretch having to start from absolute scratch and do them all over again. That's why averagejoe got fired abruptly. No bueno.
Not exactly the story I got from the man himself, but who really knows?? The tightest that operation ever was, was when AJ was there and it seemed like they were making good progress. Stretch is a master shaper and his technology was lightyears ahead of other folks for a long time. But he doesn't totally live up to his potential because the marketing/branding isn't really there.
