Last time I had a problem with a custom order I asked about it and said I would be happy to just have a funny story to go with the scratches underneath the glass. I was sincere.
Never got a reply.
It’s a beautiful board, otherwise. People check it out, love what they see, flip the board...

Thanks for your time Yosh,
Truth is a longboard from the local market or local shapers are out of my price-range. Ordering overseas is that much cheaper.
I’m a little embarrassed about how poorly put my question was put. I am a native English speaker. I wanted to get approximates. If...
Sound advice. I usually start with a shaper and ask them for their advice. Due to circumstances it has been a little difficult to find a shop around me with stock.
You’re right on the laundry list though. My finger hovered over the send button. I figured asking for their lead time was...
I’m in Japan. To be honest I have a hard time telling the difference between a hip shaper and an Instagram shaper. In the past, I just bought boards from the legends. Jam has been a blessing.
I’ve been hoping to put a deposit down on a longboard… a nose-rider. I’m willing to wait a year and a half but I don’t want to get it sooner than July.
I was hoping to get rough approximates on lead times from different shapers. If it was a long lead time, I would drop the deposit now and...
Surfy Surfy, that geekiness is awesome. That Instagram video you did nodding to the Mandalorian theme. We played that at our house for a week.
This is coming from a guy who pretends he’s flying an X-Wing fighter when he rides his motorcycle at night, though.
My sister lived in the area for years. I went and visited for a few months in Ucluelet and worked in the kitchen at the Wick. Last place I had a home in Canada.
My parents are going to retire on the Island. I’m hoping when I visit I can hit up Mt. Washington and Ucluelet/Tofino in the same...
I am forty-three, I work in a school too. I get to surf an hour or more before work depending on the season but not winter. To dark in the morning. Which works out, the wind picks-up, the swell drops and it’s cold. I do other things like fishing, snowboarding, skateboarding and the...
I have a shipping container I use for board storage and other things. There is no ventilation. So obviously, I need to start there. So, I’ve started to look at solar powered exhaust fans and such. But while I was researching that I thought maybe it might be better to get a solar panel kit...

Thanks for you help Garageful,
It is from a reputable shaper. But I don’t want to out anyone. Especially, since I never brought it up with them. I needed some advice from the forum and get an idea where to go from here.
Thanks to everyone who replied, I feel a little guilty my first...
I don’t have anything to pass down to my kids besides the small bit of land I live on. I don’t have a Rolex or jewelry. So, I feel all I can give is the love of surfing and a well rounded quiver to boot. Until, then… we can ride all these boards together and hopefully surf these boards...
