ODJ.   Just curious what you think of this shape?

Also there is a 9/4

Looks like a great shape, but if we’re being honest, those graphics are pretty bad.

Agreed. Those graphics are hard to stomach imo, but Robert has some good boards
In his collection. Good price points and easy delivery.

I have to agree as well. Nice looking shapes but the graphics are a bit of a turn off.

I prefer a clean looking board with solid colors and small graphics. I'm tired of the wood veneer look and carbon fiber should never be seen.

I’m ok with wood veneers and actually don’t mind the carbon look. It’s the cheesy graphics that are a turnoff for me. You’d never see a high end surfboard with graphics like that and to me it just looks kook-ish.

It’s a pure speculation but maybe that’s their strategy to confuse the lineup
And keep everyone away. I’d pay good money for a feature like that ;D

If the marketing strategy is to keep people from buying their birds...it’s working. I hate to be superficial, but I’m not going to pay good money for a board that looks cheesy.
