I hear Gary's brother Gerry Lopez is a half decent surfer as well. If you like the Gerry Lopez he has on the rack, you should check out his personal Lopez guns... for when he used to go to HI. He'll even sell you one of those too.

absolutley not worth it 100% in my opionion. one of the worst $450 i have ever spent. WRV's mike daniel with coil industries makes these boards.talked to the master glasser for WRV and he said these boards suck. it's pretty much a plastic board, with white gauze in it to keep it white. great flex for the first couple weeks you have it.then they snap in half literally..STICK WITH THE POLYS BRA!
Not even sure why I am replying to this but obviously you are a troll.Quote:

Mike Daniel and his brother live in Florida WRV is located in NC...explain to me how that works. I mean that would be a lot of cash shipping boards back and forth prior to going off to the surf shops.
All I have to say is no one listen to the troll.
Frankly I could care less about your guys little pissing match but I'm bored out of my mind in my home office so let me try to set you both straight...
WRV most certainly does offer Coils -- at least they did up until a month ago. I called them directly bout Coils as I was considering one before my bro started shaping again. And they still advertise them on the WRV site:

They did make is clear to me that they take longer to get than a PU or Epoxy.
And yes, you are correct -- WRV is in Kitty Hawk, NC. However, Mike Daniel does shape for them regardless of where he's from or lives. Many, many shapers have worked their magic under the WRV label over the years.
Call me a troll if you like but it seems to me, at least on the surface, that both of you are blowing $hit from your pie holes... Stick to what you know...
mike daniel doesn't shape for WRV? along with jesse fernandez he shapes probably 90% of WRV's boards. and yes he does coils for WRV...and they suck but thats just my opionion.Quote:

Update:
Just got back from my trip. Step-Up coil went insane. I am ordering a everyday NJ slosh summer board this weekend (coil).
I seem to love these plastic cotton covered (for that white look), none hand shapped, wrv popouts. :rolleyes:
How/who where do I order a Coil - a custom shape preferably - or do they have a web site with their wares?

Mike really knows his stuff and gives crap loads of feedback. GL.
