    Mr. Tetus I will post a pic when I get home. Dude, never saw that Custom x on the far left...looks like a fun shape.

    The Custom X is sturdy and i've gotten toobed on it but the widepoint is too far forward / rails are too curved, the thing just wants to always be turning, like it's hard _not_ to do spins on it. I like the Empire a lot better even though it is beat up / has a bunch of folds and creases etc -- when I set a rail on the Empire, I can kinda pick out a line and it goes that direction... the Custom X is too turny, when you set a rail it just doesn't want to go straight ever.

    Been thinking about getting a new-one-of-the-same Empire board

    I'd like to give that CX a whirl one day if possible.

    Ah better yet lay them flat..
    Yo Epictetus I believe those boards are all PE correct..dude pay the extra billz and go with a blended core or PP..trust me you'll feelz the difference..

    ok, don't attack me for this speedbumps. just kidding, you're not really speedbumps. i have no clue about bodyboards. you need to own a quiver of them? for surfing, yeah, i get it...i'm gonna take out my go-to thruster, the surf is good and chest high or bigger. i'm gonna ride my little quad with no rocker b/c it's mushy and not that punchy. i'm gonna longboard because i feel lazy and want to cruise today. there are different bodyboards for different conditions?

    some of the same rules apply to bodyboards... when its weak u want a slightly larger wider board for push..whe its powerful and bigger you can get away with less board etc

    Not really I ride the same boog pretty much in all conditions..core types and templates vary though..once you figure out what dims you like just like a surfboard you only really need one

    Actually the one on the left is 2 stringers PP, the middle is 3 stringers PP, the one on the right (and my fave) is single-stringer PE (which is why it is all creased/broken probably).
