Just picked up this epoxy custom yesterday, it was 2 weeks in the making. Will hopefully get on it tomorrow, either sailing or paddling.

Wow, interesting. A sh!t load of final tail rocker. Will slow it down / reduced top end speed. But if you're heavy on the rear foot, you should be able to make this sucker turn on a dime.

Hats off. Well done.

i like the looks of this one -fine rails, rocker, counter by enough nose area for stability without being a liability and area pin. tail flip is late- interesting.

looks like a top finish from the photos.

please, let us know how the board goes for you after a few surfs

Apologies if too much sailing talk, I cut and pasted from a wavesailing post.

Had a couple of hours in 8-12knt cross-off 1-3ft th'sarve, super loose on the wave. No rails catching, you can muck around right in the pocket or put some weight forward to get to or around the next section. Looking forward to riding my natural side. The quad chugs up wind well enough (could use slightly bigger fins but I will leave it for now). Nice light board with plenty of nose lift pops you over broken waves. Taking off late (8knts) on a solid 3ft I appreciated the progressive bottom shape, it takes off fast.
I paddled it yesterday, I definitely need to improve my paddling efficiency on a 9ft with quads (I'm 95kgs). On the wave it's very responsive to back foot pressure, nice and loose. As I said it takes off very quick. My SUPsurfing will improve for sure on this girl.
Great board that didn't break the bank, allowing for a new wave board and surf/kite board that will atleast test the marriage, if not the bank account.
I'll try to get some video, SUPsailing in the waves is great fun on very average sorts of days. I'm tragically addicted.
