Gary Loomis has a new company, North Fork Composites. Batson/Rainshadow/Alps distributes them. Many sponsors to the left sell them. Best way to get the right design blank I can think of. Re: G-Loomis blanks

His new line, NFC, is better than his old line. Highly recommend that you try them out. Re: G-Loomis blanks

Eric hits the nail on the head, without saying why. The bottom line for me would be why settle for old school? I would prefer to take advantage of newer designs,or at least more current materials.
I still like old school for my west coast saltwater gear,day in and day out. There has been a great change with newer stuff put out by the likes of UnitedComposites,Rainshadow/Batson,Calstar, and others. Some day I will build a few of those for myself. My GUSA blanks appear to have grown legs and walked off. Re: G-Loomis blanks
