I am a devout member of the Chapman fan club as well... skated several Shut (revamped Shut) boards and have never had any issue with the quality or shapes. Right now I have been skating an old Tino Razo board from almost 10 years ago that skates just like a fresh deck, a little heavy yet sturdy at the same time, but not as snappy as other Chapman boards I have had in the past but that's probably due to the age of the deck. Solid all around.
