So who has heard of this site? Has anyone used it? Do they advertize it? Why have I never heard of it? Why do some shapers have a lot more info on this site compared to their own? Strange strange times.......

SDR was on the news tonight promoting it. It's only new Ted. The young blokes have been working on it for a while and seems pretty legit. They designed a search engine blah blah I'm not tech enough to understand. But Del seemed pretty impressed by their set up

It seems like a good idea to me - just a little surprised that I have not come across it before or heard anyone else talk about it.

Fair enough bro - i know that IT is not what yr best at

I have had a good hunt around their site and it seems like they have done a pretty good job....it even has a nice little helpful mesage service as well

I am probably going to get a new little retro shortboard from Boardcave. They claim 2-4 weeks from the time it's ordered to when it's delivered? Does that sound right?

4 weeks is good

Nice find Ted

I had a bit of fun putting in variations of my age and the average length of the suggested boards gets longer as I get older (bit like real life)

For my real age, weight and height it threw up 14 boards ranging from a 5'8 keel fin fish to 8' malibu. Kind of suggesting that most surfers can surf most any board. And that is what makes a varied quiver fun.

Another point might be though, that if you are paying full price for a new board anyway, why not get a local shaper to make what you want.
