Jimmy Lewis taking about his construction vs. others..

[toolate]

Are you thinking JLs surf like crap???

Much of the industry used to build them like JL. Remember Surftech surfboards, Randy Frenches company. After Seatrend.

Everyone moved away from that construction because they surfed like crap. Surftech tired to save itself with constructions that felt better, but too late. You don't see Surftech in any surf shops anymore. They used to be everywhere.

Bamboo surfs a little nicer.

Plain old glass over much denser foam surfs best, but Jimmy doesn't talk about that.

He told the truth, but not the whole truth.

Now we've got Innegra in lots of boards. Hammer proofing without any sandwich.

There is no black and white here, DW makes some very good points and observations.  Having said that, JL makes some really great boards.  The best performance SUP, that I have ridden is still the StunGun.  The most authentic noserider is clearly the BB Machine...

Jimmy is a master shaper I look up to. My only intention was to clarify misleading (typical marketing) information. It's a fact, everyone used to build boards like this.
