Remote vs. Arson

Differences and/or advantages? Went skating yesterday and my board is starting to delaminate on the tail. Only a matter of time before it gets waterlogged or just falls apart. I read that remotes and arsons are both $250, which isnt bad. I know that Remotes are hard to get, and arson you can order online. Is the remote worth waiting for? How is the arson? ive seen videos of people using them but ive never read anything about it. Just shopping around right now, need some ideas.

I've actually discontinued the Purist line... aka the $250 board and no one has any available. We have some totally new stuff that'll be available mid summer that will be priced a little higher but 10x better than the Purist line ever could of been.

Rumor has it we might even be calling it the "Omen Series"

SleuCrew, i'm just kinda curious to why you decided to release omen & and now this new line mid summer? wouldn't it be better for business if they where ready for summer? not half way thru? I don't wanna make it sound like i'm bashing omen or any of the work you do chris. I personally love your work and i'm proud to ride your boards. I only ask cuz i was one of the few that waited to pre-order your revolt and was kinda disappointed i got it half way thru summer.

price.dan, I'm calling the model of the boards the Omen series possibly, I haven't actually decided yet. These are just three completely new models in the Arson line.

The story with Omen to put it simple is that about two years after I started Omen I took on two private investors as partners. Needless to say they screwed me repeatedly without any lube until I wasn't left with any choice but to resign from my own company.

SleuCrew, damn sounds sh!tty. but look on the good side, arsons here and i have a feeling for its for permanent.

Evan71, I think I'll always be a little bitter about what happened, to be honest when it all went down it was like a really bad divorce.

yookyle, That's how I see it, I own 100% of Arson, all of the money invested is out of my pocket and it'll always be that way. The company might have more growing pains than I'd like but I'm free to do what I want and to make every decision that needs to be made for the good of the company. Arson isn't going anywhere, just growing and trying to make even better product.

I love this sport, when I feel like I can't build a better product than we already do now I'll throw in the towel.

Lollar, that is awesome.
I feel the same about just having an Arson at this time.

I highly recommend these deck and I am really excited about what we will will see in the future as a result of the current changes.

Keep up the great work SleuCrew

well guys. Rode the impulse this past weekend. 30 minutes in the water and the thing was waterlogged. Too bad because it rode like a dream. Brought it back and picked up the 2010 Bi-level Vinyl. Hopefully its a little better. =/
