Tried to put this up on the original thread but was 'directed' to start a new one! 
Thought it would be interesting to actually see the design in 3d rather than pics.
Thanks AA. A detailed video really helps people who don't live near a shop to really get a good look.
I wish more dealers did this. Thanks again.
Thanks AA I did demo one ages ago but it wasnt big enough to float me, and am keen to demo the 10'10 sometime but what makes them so different in essence?
Thanks Southwesterly, yes it is a hard board design to describe in still pics so I hoped a video would be useful. I might try it on some other boards to show the differences on design. Next best thing to demo'ing I guess!
ShireSUP, it is hard to describe this board without sounding like a 'beat up'.
They are very different to anything we have paddled or surfed.
Here are the observations we have gathered from Demo's and customers -
in essence the Hull designs paddle like a board that is much longer and surf like a board much smaller. Swift, stable, nimble and forgiving are all words that have been used to describe this new design.
Best to demo if you can and feel it for yourself. There is a 9'7 and 10'2 for DEMO at Manly but as yet not a 10'10. Drop me a line and we will see what we can do re the 10'10.
I've had the 10'2" paddler for about 3 months. I vary between 95 to 100 kg and am 185 cm. The board is Freakin amazing. I will try the Hull rippers when they are released but the stability, manoueverabilty and the price on this board was unbeatable. They are good in virtually any conditions but the width is a bit of a problem in suckier waves. I have a couple of construction complaints though. The cheap price means that the materials they use are quite heavy and chip easily a bit of rail tape is highly recommended. It has now improved my surfing to the point where I can hold my own against anyone when I'm on. At 53 that's a nice feeling. It's a lovely transitional board and would suit anybody that wants a true all rounder.
