Is it just me or is Aido Wheeler producing some awesome looking shapes at the moment for rusty. Browsing in the rusty rack in star the other day and wanted almost every board there. The Bali single fin model looks fun too.
Bit of nostalgia as well as remember Greg laurensen shaping me some customs in the 90's.

I like the "Stump". My mate has one and he shreds on it. Only thing I dont like is the swallow tail.

Rusty shapes have always been good but some of the glass jobs Ive seen have been average in the past. In saying that same mate has a quiver of them and they seem to going ok and he thrashes his boards.

yeah its a pitty there not locally made any more.

Dont mean to hi-jack the thread but on the topic of **** glass jobs is 6on top and 6 on bottom that much heavier than 6 and 4 for the average joe?

Might be in the market for a new board soon and seriously thinking of going 6 and 6 cos 4 oz on the bottom seems to weak on my boards and on a few mates boards that I have fixed up.

I like 4 on the bottom and 6 on top, I dont think that 6 on the bottom would make that much diff tbh.

six ounce is heaps stronger on the bottom most glassers will try and talk you out of it because its harder to lap the top layers just tell them to squeeze more resin out anda thinner filler coat

u can actually order 6 oz glass if need be,,3 weeks delivery, which is pretty good, i just got 4 oz as i really don't care nthat much
