I’m not knocking you here, but what exactly does having the right “look” have to do with design or type of blank used ? You have just stated that all that matters is the “look” of the borad and its ability to attract “babes”. If that is truly your belief, would it not then be the the assertion that the type of core/blank used for your personal borad, or any board in your opinion, makes no difference whatsoever, becasue the look is all you are after ? You have made a valid point for yourself and your lifestyle - its about the babes - and that is ok. But, where does this line of reasoning tie into the original theory about materials ? If the look is all that matters, performance, durability, craftsmanship, accuracy (and not to mention skill of the rider) are of no use at all in your surfing lifestyle. Because, who needs these things to get the babes ? Right ? The guy riding the board doesn’t even have to ride it as long as the “look” is right, and that alone will bring the “babes” in droves. Man, tell me where to get one of those boards. It would be worth it just to have for those purposes.
