Greetings everyone! We need some advice. We are interested in purchasing a longboard for our son-in-law for a Christmas gift. He is a novice surfer on the southeast coast of USA. We are considering ordering an epoxy longboard from Degree33.
Has anyone ordered from Degree33? Is this a good company to order from? What has your experience with this company been? Anything else you can share would be great!
Thanks for your feedback!

Mainly in SC.. Charleston/Hilton Head area. I'll put in a good word with Stana for you.
The company I'm referencing has a web site...
www.degree33.com. I think I might had mispelled the company name previously.

I looked at the web site. They look like nice boards. Checked out the demensions of the first 9'0" longboard and they are good. Then I looked at the "About Us" part of the web site. They say everything right that is for sure. One question I would have for them............Who is the big company they teamed up with? Someone else that knows about epoxy may know the questions to ask them. If you are interested in the glass boards. I would ask about the thickness of the glass. A heavy glassed board for a newbie is what you would want imho.
With all the positive things they say I still just wonder as a lot of my posts say are you giving up quality for the price. Also I always advise people to get a board that a newbie can learn on and grow on for years to come. Not one that just lets you stand up and maybe do just a little turn and that is all the board is good for. Degree33 says their boards can do a lot more than just a little turn but that you can do many turns and even nose ride. I just wonder about the price vs. quality thing.
If you would like I maybe able to find some locals down there and find a good surf shop down there for you.
