Hi , anyone know what factory smiks 2021 come out of ? ...... CHina , or kinetic , or somewhere else ? ta

Thailand, not sure if its Kinetic but think it is same as JL and Starboard, its mentioned on their web page, very happy with mine.

JLewis Kalama ,infinity ,made at kinetic In Vietnam,Smik in Thailand,and the rumours I'm hearing ,is some Starboards are being made there as well atm,I have never had a problem with any board from KINETIC,unfortunately I cannot say the same for other manufactures

Smik uses the HTC factory in thailand: www.smiksup.com/smik-heritage

Its founder lived in Thailand, at the Thai factory of Starboard: www.totalsup.com/news/smiksup-scott-mckercher/

The Smiks are very well build. Light and strong.
If there is 1 small thing to improve: I would love to see them with FCS2 boxxes, instead of the old style box.

True that, HTC is not far from Airport, I did a around trip to there from Bali to pick-up 9'0 n 10'0 Smik's for the LSR, early March before Covid shut us down. Great guys there.

I did ask for futures boxes in my last custom as I have a draw full of futures fins, but they couldn't do that.

Crap I'm in the process of getting a spitty and I wanted futures, I hope they can do that now.

Ok just had word from Mr Smik and he said they can do either fcs2 or futures, good to know, you blokes had me worried for a sec
