Go back to designing widgets. This board has been done so many times by so many people. Ive seen this article on every freakin media outlet(except truly hardcore surf sites)You are whats wrong with the surfboard industry. GSI is a Chinese made, massed produced label and he's claiming to be some sort of hardcore shaper. GSI takes jobs away from hardcore craftsmen/surfers. Anyone can design boards these days. If I see you posing like some model with that thing one more time Im gonna puke. Oh and the only people that buy your gimmick or any pop out are kooks. And before you call yourself a shaper learn to rip first. Go back to Sweden Barney. Thomas, enough with the shameless self promotion and media blitz. Go back to designing widgets.

This design has been done so many times by so many people. In our market oriented culture, objects get regurgitated and thrown back in our face. PR is the name of the game. Ive seen so much press on this board and this designer. Remember, just because you see it in a magazine or being used by a celebrity, doesnt make it good. Mark my words, this design will be forgotten in a few weeks just as it has in the past. With surfboard design, everything has been done before.

The same old shit. I believe that there’s NO need to design anything if it doesn’t add anything of value. There are too many things out there that are just a marketing exercise to sell more units. We need fundamental change..." Guy's straight and right. Most "designers" try to get most out of your pocket by simply doing same old shit. Cheers. “…There’s so much useless design going on.
