    Anyone know anything about or ridden the SuperTOY by Super, saw a nice one on CL but don't know much about the company. Any thoughts or reviews would be much appreciated. Thanks guys!

    Right coasters Jessie Hines and Zack Humphries surf for them. Marzo, Craike, Dion Agius and many others. They have some tasty shapes. Carlsbad CA company. Basically the progressive surfers ride for them. Founded by Marzo Craike Agius. Haven't seen a board that I didn't think was sick. Could be a next purchase for me!

    I haven't had one in a couple years, but I can tell you for the price I paid the glass was extremely weak. You could pressure ding it if you just looked at it the wrong way. It was close to the current Vapor model, loved the way it rode but was disappointed with the quality.

    Not to put them down but we've had a few Superbrands in the shop for repairs with broken noses - all snapped in the same spot. One dude busted his on the first session. I think they underglass them with Chinese fiberglass, if you hold one up to the light you can see right through it. If you're gonna spend the cash get a custom from a local shaper, or get one and bring it to us for repair, we have a lot of experience with those boards :)

    amazing boards, I have a slug and it is soo light and fast, really performancy. They are glassed really thin on purpose because they are extremely light boards. Its a personal preference not cheap chinese fiberglass.

    Like VAsurfer604 said it's not cheap fiberglass or poor quality/craftsmanship. The whole concept behind them is that you're getting exactly what the pro is riding. And, that is gonna mean real light glass job.

    Got the board, love it, super fast and fun...but I do see it has some lighter than normal glassing, but i love how light and fast it is.
