Just one question...

Does the local shaper work part-time at Popeye's or KFC?

99.99% sure that's not the case. at all.

that said, i'm all for supporting your local shaper. of course, if you want an *actual* dumpster diver or whatever, from any board builder, your local shaper isn't going to be making that for you. he's going to be making his version of it. which is great if you just want a "dumpster diver type board", but it seems like a lot of folks go to their local shaper, don't get a perfect replica, then go on the interwebz & ***** about how the shaper "sucks" or whatever. it's bull****.

yea, CI markets heavily. so do ...Lost, Rusty, & many others. do you really think that any large operation that employs ghost shapers has more soul than another? it really amuses me that CI garners all this hatred while companies like Lost, JC, Rusty, JS, etc...get a pass somehow. i especially love the whining about how light CI glasses their boards. it's a double 4oz deck! wtf do you expect to happen? & do you really think any other large board builder does their glassing any different? every single major board builder's stock glass job is double 4 deck, single 4 bottom. i've had great boards from CI, even one or 2 i'd say was magic, & some bad ones. some boards held up well, some were damn near bullet proof, & some collapsed under the weight of the wax. same goes w/ Rusty & Lost. if you don't like CI's product, don't buy it. if you've never ridden one, why are you talking ****?
