    I've been surf boards shaped by glide for years now, he does custom boards for me and has a performance model called the rattler that he shaped for Cody a few years back that's very very popular these days

    the rattler what the characteristics of that board, i alreadt have a 9'2 bic but want to progress further......very little volume in it... strange board really. trying to get beyond the bic dilema and get something decent..... its all about the dollar tho.

    The rattler is based off the Stewart Colin mcphillips pro model but streamlined
    The dimensions I put on my comp boards are 9'0-22-2 7/8
    There are either quad or 2+1
    A lot of the top log riders are using them
    Very manoeverable !

    Glide has shaped me two quad longboards that I absolutely love

    Personally I would go either two routes - save for a custom or get a top of the range board second hand

    The cheap shop boards will surf extremely well and are super for catching waves on but can have poor resale value and can be really easy to ding
