Well lucky for you and for everyone else on this forum, this board is for $700!! QUALITY HAND SHAPED board with Proxy Epoxy which is 5 times stronger than off the rack crap and 10x better!! I hate idiots that chime in with worthless comments....
Dude, no offense but nobody with a brain is going to pay $700 for a used board. You're the one who paid $1,100 so you're going to have to live with the loss unfortunately. My suggestion is drop that bad boy to $495 and you might have some luck.
http://proctorsurfboards.net/modern-mechanics-board-making/ Excerpt from Proctors website: These days the question of machine-shaped boards not having as much “soul” as a handmade board is nearly a dead issue, as just about every top-name builder uses a machine in some capacity. “Using a machine isn’t as pure as hand-shaping a board,” says Lost’s Matt Biolos. “But it’s a lot more detail driven. It helps us see numbers and patterns that would otherwise go unnoticed. You couldn’t keep up with the technical demands of surfers nowadays doing all your boards by hand.”
No offense taken but to be honest it is only 1 season old. I dont expect to get full price for it, I dont even expect to get close to it, BUT speaking from experience this board is perfect for the older bigger guy 200-260 who doesnt want to be doomed to a LONGBOARD or one of those crappy fun boards that are DOGS in the water either. Todd Proctor makes GREAT boards so for the BIGGER GUY who is looking to get back into surfing or that bored Long Boarder who wants to UP his performance but still wants something that will float him while performing, this board is PERFECT! But for the skinny weak, wafey, typical surfer dudes that are 5' nothing" 140 lbs you are right, noone is gonna pay that cause there are plenty of boards out there they can ride for a lot less. Specialized board for a specialized person. I already have a shop that will give me $600 for it in Trade towards another board.They said the same thing I did, that it would be perfect for the bigger guy looking to get off his FART LOG... If I dont sell it here that is what I am gonna do, so $495 is definatley out for this kind of board used or not. Hell it is is such good condition I could strip the wax off of it and sell it as BRAND NEW if I want to be dishonest it is in that good of condition.
LOL This one was HAND MADE, NO MACHINE....... I had a friend of mine stop in at different stages when he was working on it.... Dude whats your problem anyways? If you dont like the board then thats fine but why are you crapping all over the post?
Sigh.... take the $600 in trade, best offer you're going to get most likely. Those who know can get a brand new board shaped by another shaper of equal skill or even better for $600 for the EXACT same thing, if not better quality.
Question: Is a CNC milled blank classified as a handshape now? If I am not mistaken Todd Proctor owns a milling machine and loves it but I was wondering if he actually did bust out the saw and planer just for you. Is a handshape more valuable than a computer numerically controlled shape?
I'm sure he is, but $1,100 is a rip off, I don't care how good he is. Sorry to break it to ya 2FUN, but he took you for a ride.
I'm just busting your balls. But I am keeping your post at the top of the heap. No, "thank you" needed
Well I have that option, but also have it out on a few sites. People thought I was crazy to sell my JBLAIR board that was a very big boy at 7'10x24 1/2x 3 3/4 but it sold and I got really good money for it. The guy I sold it to loves it and still is riding it today over his long board. I will keep you updated on the progress of it and give it a couple of weeks. If it doesnt sell then I will take the other option! I've got nothing to lose!!
