Modern Blackbird Questions

How much weight ( kilo) is the modern black bird bamboo 8 feet ?

Also noticed that the top and bottom decals on the Modern Blackbird were quite crooked. I mean, this just shows how little regard for quality these Chinese factory workers have. Wonder if they have even seen a beach, much less gone for a surf???

sounds pretty bad mate, but the prob here is buying a non local board in the first place ... as a surfer there is no way i would buy a chinese or thai or any other off shore board ... lesson learned for you and others i hope, BUY LOCAL ..

I think your review is dodgie as the Modern Blackbird does not come in a 2 1/5 in any of the sizes and in my experience every modern I have seen has been a beautiful finish. I'm often more disappointed with the quality of local shaping hence I stopped spending astronomical prices on crap boards.

Phillip76. If you took the time to notice, my review was posted in 2013. Perhaps the dimensions, etc have changed, as it is now 2017? Mate, the only thing that is dodgie is your review. What are you, a sales rep from GSI? If you can't find a good local shaper to custom make a quality board, you sound like a kook.
