So how long from the drawing board to hitting the waves? What sort of fins setup? What's the theory behind the nose shape? Sooo many questions and soooo envious. I would love to have a shaper bring my thoughts to reality/ Keep us in the loop.

Finless and go nuts on some heavy concave all the way

Yewwww

V interesting!!!

holy smokes , thats some nice surfing!

Difficult to pass comment on the board design when the dude is ripping like that - holy **** he made it look good!

ha, most of us wouldn't be able to handle it. your surfing would disintegrate. as for a standup- where does a paddle fit in here

lookie lookie keen to see this one in the water

So why are we looking at my ironing board? Seriously some of you guys have far to much talent and ability. Reminds me of the clip where KS surfs a door while wearing a suit and holding a briefcase. You guys could give an old man an inferiority could complex. Too good

Hey Simon, I surf the 5'10" vanguard (nothing like Stu Kennedy!) but anyways have a close look at the rocker. They have quite a bit, its constant (fast like a windsurfing board) and that seems to make up for the wider tail width. I thought about making a sup board the same but never did. I rekon the rocker will be the key, not enough and that wide tail will suck but too much and it will slow down too much. Otherwise if you get the volume skightly on your lower end (me be about 95 to 100 litres) and you might be on too something. Id go 27 inches wide max.

that looks interestingly good

Unreal, can't wait to see the finished product. I reckon the quad option will be best.

This just in from Malibu, CA!
