    the shape and features look interesting...but the pop-out manufacturing doesn't. If SC PowerLyte is anything like a Surftech Tuflite, expect an extremely stiff and slow board that doesn't hold wax worth a damn.

    "The chinaman is not the issue here, Dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line, you DO NOT... Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please."

    I've got a gdeck now and have owned a pumpkin seed and a archie. All have been great boards hold wax well but they are a little stiff. Every new board comes with fiberglass fins and a nice custom bag so that is a nice aspect of the company. No complaints here

    would you like me to post pictures of my board now and former boards? trying to help a fellow surfer out and share my experience with the brand in question but i guess being a jack a$$ is the way to go instead

    Yo roar you r dancing a fine line with that tone. I'm sure your heritage isn't sweaky clean. No ones is. We as a surfing community can choose to not buy pop outs no matter where they r made. It starts with us. Oh by the way my wife is Chinese and I'm American.

    PSA: Please patronize your local shaper. They know about the local conditions, and can interact with your desires and ability to shape you a custom vehicle so you can best ride waves and express yourself in Mother O. Think globally - shop locally. ( Pop outs are dead sleds by the way - no flex equals no punch ).
