Gotcha.
From my source that may know (or may not) - he initially heard GP87 was an idea for a factory that wasn't followed through with, but admits he doesn't ultimately know what they ended up doing.
Did your source have any sort of confirmation?
Ultimately I don't care, I just have experience with a GP87 tending to be my best boards.

My source is the guys who run Korua, straight from their mouths…
Things could have changed, but GP87 is what they told me when the word hit the streets that they were gonna start utilizing China. I asked them point blank who.

Can usually tell from the sidewalls if it's gp87.

Shit... if just Korua boards weren't bad enough. Now we have GP87 Koruas.
A whole new titillating level of frothy covetousness emerges.
Just how hard can I get for a tranny

Legitimately interested in what this little detail is as well.

Drove to Hintertux via Brannenburg back in '20. Should never've turned off the highway. Caught a bad infestation of the critters in my car, barely room to sleep in there.

Just got a message from the guy on a transition finder I met recently, when he was visiting from WA with a friend. Love this shit. The only reason we ended up connecting that day was because we both had Koruas. It can be hard for people from down south to grasp the extent to which I mean this, but it is very uncommon to meet people visiting from elsewhere in the winter, which makes it extra cool. They were awesome folks.

It's just the finish really, I've seen a couple different ones, but nothing that compares.
