Im sure it's a completely different tech from when cmc was one here banging on about it.

I really liked the sound of it and would like to know what had happened to it

was talking to sdr today apparently tuflite construction uses normal planks. the tlpc which means tuf lite carbon pro, has a t stringer as well as a carbon strip and carbon tail rail 'bits'. and tlpc mostly has a eps blank that's the lay up I have.

I have also noticed that water hog this year only comes in tuflite only now.

you guys are probably right, tlpc wasn't holding up on the mals probably

steve was saying you lose so much strength with a eps foam core.

we are going to do a epoxy carbon stringer board

and after showing sdr the boards I'm liking, looking at rocker rail etc etc, the base of the new board then worked up, will probably some thing called a chrispy chip or something

what the hell is a chrispy chip

A Chrispy chip is a peace of Chrispys shoulder

That's a bummer. Great looking shape those Takayama Eggs. I would have thought that shop would have been able to pull some strings with whoever their dealer is. ******s.

Yeh that is crap^^^^^

Board surfed like a dream - we still have it albeit with the bubble.
yeah agree it was shameful service, left me frustrated and royally pissed off but it gets to the point where its just not worth the stress or your time to keep pursuing. The board had suffered some minor damage on the tail and the bubble was under the nose and they fell back on their warranty terms stating that warranty is void if there is any other damage (shop admitted that there was no link between existing damage and bubble). If the boards are so good and this is an anomaly then you wonder why they wouldnt stand behind their product - admit the fault and replace the board. makes me wonder whether they are getting quite a few instances of defective boards and are trying to cut their losses.
