    When your new custom comes in...

    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...

    Lead Times on a Longboard

    Yosh 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...

    Lead Times on a Longboard

    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...

    Lead Times on a Longboard

    Thanks. I am and I have run into distribution issues before. I’ll have to check out Surf Garage. I’ve been able to pick-up in the past. But you know.

    Lead Times on a Longboard

    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.

    Lead Times on a Longboard

    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...

    Your life outside of surfing

    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.

    Your life outside of surfing

    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...

    Your life outside of surfing

    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...

    Surfboard storage shipping container and sheds, how do you keep the boards cool?

    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...

    T 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...

    So how many surfboards are too many surfboards?

    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...
