Crazy Fly Raptor Pro Carbon one of the fastest TT's ever made, carves big and medium sized turns realy well, have great fot pads, easy to control in high speed, great uppwind and boosting. I love this board.
If you have bad knees this board is not for you, try something slower that is softer with more rocker and/or channels.

Xenon Laluz 135x41.5

My own custom board that I made. Funnily enough it suits my needs better than anything else I have ever ridden. I guess that's the advantage of making something selfishly to your own exact needs.
That's something I would enjoy doing . . . but have no shed here
I had no shed or a garage. Worked in my laundry.
Now have a double garage and guess what, no time for building.
No need for a new build, current one is the best. For me.
Tried more than 15-20 boards.
Be lucky if the laundry was 4 square meters
have a "spare" room upstairs, but I'd have to keep moving gear around and the floor is carpet.
The other problem is, getting supplies here

If you really want to do it you'll find a way. Otherwise you'll find an excuse.

NHP carbon 2017. Have tried and/or owned most of the boards mentioned above and yes they are all outstanding boards.
NHP somehow with its excessive rocker and decent flex (so very smooth in the pop) goes relatively early and yet it’s edge cannot be broken. Your legs will snap first. Also the asymmetric edge is nice in the surf and for doing fast carves to toeside.
There’s some weird strange voodoo built into that board man.
Only got onto it because my 2014 north carbon team series cracked (yep yet another one!!), so I rode my buddies spare 2011 nhp. Quite heavy for board offs but fell in love with it.

or I could just pay much, much less for the materials, not waste them, and buy a board someone else has already made

Is $30 too much for you ?
Coz that is how much it really costs.
