I\u2019ve been a big fan of Christenson shapes for a while and have 8 of his shapes.  I\u2019ve been blown away by the quality of each of the customs I\u2019ve received in terms of attention to detail in everything from the curves to the art and glassing, especially on the mids and larger shapes, including the longevity of the boards.  The brand is clearly positioned as a premium board at a premium price point and I think most people on this forum acknowledge that.  While the feedback on beefing up glassing on shortboards can be valid, that is the whole point of going with a custom order.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe only thing that I wish could be improved is more Real style videos where they really inspect the board to give the viewer a better understanding of the shape, intent, and then couple that with average joes surfing it as opposed to pro-level ripping.  I personally pour over those videos before placing an order for a board I have never seen in person."]], "columns": ["post_id", "thread_id", "thread_title", "post_number", "author_username", "post_date", "post_date_iso", "post_body"], "primary_keys": ["post_id"], "primary_key_values": ["387809"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6540100002894178, "license": "Public Domain"}
