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
