Awesome lookin' rip stick.   8'2" x 30.5" x 3.75" x 108
That thickness has me wondering about stability. My thinnest sup is an 8'0" CoreVac Cannibal at 4-3/8" w/about the same vol.
One could go into a mall in Kansas and ask a teenager "What is a surfer looking for?, and the answer will always be, "The perfect wave"

Nice looking board. And I like that blue colored camo deckpad.

AJ shapes with a domed deck. My crushed feet need a flat deck.

It is not a daily driver for me as it requires reasonably calm conditions. Have had some great sessions on it in clean waves though!

Dave V-bags his boards. He likes to keep his techniques secret. He tells the guys who work for him that Mum's the word.
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

This was glassed using 1.0 foam, two layers of 4 oz s cloth top, single s cloth bottom, and a single layer of vectra net top and bottom. The shark applique was also glassed as opposed to the decal variety.

I wanted extra glass as on Cape Cod we have brutal shorebreak and golf ball sized rocks. A bad combination.

I tell Dave think Ocean Beach with rocks as opposed to Cardiff.

He has made a number of boards for me.

This is a magnificent example of a light strong custom that will not destruct, dent, chip, blah, blah.
