YOLO ALERTS

This is genius. I could make a real slick user interface that surfers can upload pictures of their leash plugs and then we suggest specific leash strings (like Warby Parker), but it's all actually the same leash string just photographed at different angles.
You’re just saying that because I know where you work.I met Duffy in person. He's a super nice dude. And twice the size of everyone on this forum....so I'd watch what you say.
And come on, man! I’m only 50% bigger than everyone.
Griffin has been a broken record on fins made for the board. I agree it’s the best option if available. I also believe if the shaper knows what kind of fins I use they can make little adjustments for best performance. I used to get Arakawa’s when he was still with HIC, right on the order form Eric would ask what fins are you using besides the fin system.
What’s tripping me out on this long thread is $1000-$1400 YOLO boars with no fins and no guidance on which fins would be optimal for said boar. Then asking Griffin for help in making a custom set of fins made with a base to improve fin position. Greg you’re a hero for doing that and I totally understand why you would not want to do it anymore.
When I work on a house I absolutely hate it when I have to fix another contractors f*ck ups. Or when the homeowner tries to paint or prep themselves and just gives up after a sh*tty job and calls me to fix it and make it look great.
Im anti-YOLO. I believe in supporting a local shaper and building a long term surfer/shaper relationship. But I get the thrill of trying new and shiny things. Hope you guys post up the crappy YOLO experiences too.
Carbon Twinsman in the 5'8 variety
doesn't album give fin recs when you order or pick up? I've literally never had a shaper not give advice when asked.
Matt gave me recommendations on what fins to run on my sub. Stumps always gives me fins to shoot for on my beards. I don't see the issue.

I don’t doubt you. You know how many people I’ve met from this forum that are super cool in-person, but act like a-holes online? I don’t get why there has to be a disconnect. Act like you would in-person and there’s no disconnect.I met Duffy in person. He's a super nice dude. And twice the size of everyone on this forum....so I'd watch what you say.
i know I know show us your YOLO or get off our thread. Sorry.
@silentbutdeadly if your ordering a custom from a shaper you’ve dealt with before not YOLO. YOLO seems to be white knuckling an online order or CL listing and hoping that extra 2liters or minus 2liters doesn’t effect the boars magic dust before you press buy at 3 in the morning.
I’ll shut up now. Still gotta watch out if Caroline’s bf is gonna jump me from behind. Haha.

There's no way this is the case. I have a Varial 5'6 and I'd venture the board is 30 - 31L. The board does NOT paddle that well.
You might have missed the early threads where we defined YOLOs. Internet OTR YOLOs take precedent. But we also decided it was cool if you rage order a custom driven by deficencies in your quiver.
Yep it’s hard to follow. 40 pages. Makes my head spin.
Props to Griffin for making other shapers boars better with his fins and knowledge.
Props to Mr J for working on making a better archer and not just looking for that fugly resin swirled magic arrow.
I want to passive aggressive order a custom:
5’9.5” x 19 61/64” x 2 13/98”
Reverrse goofy foot Asym: fusion box toe side, red-x front heel side and o’fishl rear heel side.
resin tint only the first 4oz layer on deck, clear bottom, clear second deck layer but foam stain the hot coat.

There‘s no body language online. I could say something in person and type the same thing online and you could have two totally different interpretations.
Knowing this (and being lazy) I don’t really try to be “nice” online. My posts are usually short and to the point which probably comes across as assholyish.
Also when I “insult” people it’s usually just a case of ball busting.
You should hear how I talk to my friends. If you saw it written down…..
Well you would know better as I haven't actually surfed one yet.
Just sharing what Trimcraft said \
None of my yolos were online orders. I bought them all face to face with the seller.
yeah my bad, I guess the order is internet YOLOs > OTR IRL YOLOs > rage custom YOLOs
