There's a fine line with that front board flex to still allow smooth cruising I guess.

There were descenders kicking around at the beginning of summer but I think they’re all gone now
Argh... Board showed up and my first thought was, "damn that's wide!"

Well I was right... It is wide. It's 275 wide. They had it listed as a 170 and not a 170 wide. Not going to work for my size 8.5, I definitely need the 260 width version.

Shot them an email :/

You won’t believe this but the opposite actually happened to me (from a different shop). Was supposed to be wide but I got regular. Had to return it. Was a bummer because I got a great deal and ended up paying full price for the wide the next season.

Too bad we didn't cross swords.

I could probably handle the wide honestly, but it would be less than ideal.

I would absolutely not settle for the wide because of their mistake. It's a big jump, especially on a board like the cheater, especially with your boot size

Spenser. Totally agree. Warren is going to work with them and see if there is any way to swap it for a 170 regular, but otherwise they will just refund me.

Not that I usually care, but I have to say that I much prefer the green topsheet from the last version over the new model that looks like a gigantic longboard skateboard / longboard surfboard.

It's not surprising for him to go with another classic surfboard inspired graphic, but I also definitely like the green more.

I think it would have been one of the best looking boards out there without any coloring, like the new Shorty's woodgrain

I'm still a bit bummed that board doesn't work for me, because the silhouette and everything else just looks so damn good.

Yeah, I totally get it, and I agree on the Shorty woodgrain. It's beautiful.

All I want is the biru in a long & narrow version instead of the short fat 🥲
