Rusty P. came to visit a local shop and agreed to replicate a magic C5(with FCS) that I brought in, I was stoaked that he would take the time, he even designed it on his computer right with me. I called the factory to make sure FCS was what I would get so that it would be exactly what I wanted(I have had mix ups there before). It finally showed up 2 months late with a future C5 set up(which I was told ,in the past, by Hammon another R. shaper that all the bugs were not out yet on that system)and completely blank with no dimensions or signature, which usually all Rustys come with. So now after much anticipation I have a board with the wrong fin system and not sure who actually shaped it. The board is sick looking though. I was given the option of taking the board and they would send me some fiberglass fins to make up for the mistake or they will shape another(Rusty P. hand shape I doubt it) on a rush order with FCS(I am leaning twards this option). Has any one switched from FCS C5 to Future C5 with improved results. I dont like the Future systems descision proces choosing where to adjust the fin, just want to surf what I liked origionally. What would you do?
i'd go surfing
Never take the board , have them do it again. Rusty is a big business your not hurting anyone. Let them throw it on the racks, or.... get your deposit back or shine it! Nothing worse than taking a board that didnt fit your specs and having to eat the entire $400 or more bucks. --Worse way to eat crow!
in the words of Chester A. Reiley...''.what a revoltin development this is''..>why its enough to1. drive a man to!.drink...2..ouit surfing all together...3. perhaps contemplating BUILDING IT YOURSELF and heck in 2 months you could make yourself 8 boards ...1 a week...and one of em would at least be the most perfectly tuned electrastratus greatest developmental surfboard in the history of mankind....Your daddy didn't raise you to be no manufacturers dupe...you can do it .....rage in the shaping room............ the world awaits your solutions......DOES A FALCON WAIT FOR A DELIVERY FROM PIZZA HUT?...NO! these are the moments in time that revolutions are fomented upon....ambrose.... and you foment on the garage floor ... you clean it up
what do I do with shaping 'entrails'??
Wrap 'em in some of your honey's old panty hose and use it to get old wax off.
pickle and prim get beach fire points..pick agood spot outo' the smoke...ambrose....heeres some more dry wood
dude..., never buy a board that the shaper don´´t surfing, like rusty...
fuck the majors...let them to make cloth.., not boards,...
D'ont knock the big board builders also known as professional board builders. The big builders keep a lot of people working at what they love to do.I for one am proud of the work I have done the last 15 years
...still rusty and others don´´t stand up well in a surfboard...
