I guess i was one of the lucky ones. Got 2 foils and one board, and luckily found someone with a board with no foil. Selling it now to go to a carbon board. Hell of a deal for a carbon foil setup -

The construction is excellent. Cold molded pre-preg carbon. Not easy to do and it is extremely strong. It's too bad he couldn't make the business work because the product is very good.

a couple of guys I know in cali say they hum really really good and flex like no other and tons o of drag. cold mould prepreg? Never heard of it... Prepreg needs heat to set either a autoclave or a heated press. It will set at room temps but will not flown and bond together proper.
Pre-pregs and moulding compounds. Vacuu ... √P, 55 ...
what I under stood him doing was wet prepreg on his lay up.. which is putting the right about of resin into the cloth and laying it up..
and the guys I know in cali build boards so I believe them on what they say... they have nothing to gain or lose about BS about the foils.

do I need to fill a disclaimer and ship it to you or something now?
Do you not understand why it comes of as dishonest to not give a disclaimer?
I have never heard a teamrider express anything truly negative about a product that has been given to him/her.
