Looks like a Sprint bow with interesting construction. Wonder how wide it is.

Looks tippy. And why is there so much water sloshing around the deck?

I'm not convinced that yacht designer's software can produce useable shapes for SUPs, simply because speed on a SUP is so much of an interaction between rider and board, and there won't be any data on that.

But then again, I'm not sure that many of the main brands are progressing much either. I've got a PSH from back in the day, and I reckon it is still better than 99% of today's offerings.

Here we go again...

"...rounded bilge creates a nice sense of secondary stability, while the flat rocker and wave piercing nose help the board catch the smallest waves..."

Haha! Here is the translation for you:

"...rounded bilge creates an uncomfortable sense of tippiness, while the flat rocker and wave-piercing nose help the footwell fill with water with even the smallest waves..."

There's a reason why the boards that are up the pointy end of races don't look much like theirs..
