    excellent guys to talk too/work with, tons of stoke at Black Point.... I haven't heard of any real issues with orders. Depending on how good the surf is, the turn around time is a couple weeks. The quality is good and the price isn't horrible, I think Longboards start around $900... I've seen some really nice sticks come out of their shop.

    Like I said no grain on multiple reasons . One : who the hell wants to pay like $800-1100 for a kit then pay and go to a class for 10 Saturday's ? Two they pilfered the designs from a cat they worked for then opened their on shop . Three .are they using "sustainable " resin,glue ? Four . Can't handle their silly little hipster get togethers .five . Rhode a few when they first started and they weigh a ton .5 all of the above .

    Probably junk. IMHO, you are better to get a longboard from a maker such as Harbour, Gordon & Smith, etc. In the years I have been surfing, I never have anybody complain about them two. New England board builders are not up to par, yet. Maybe in the future.
    just opinion.
