Judging by the protruding stringer on that board Josh is riding, I'd say that's very lightweight comp special blank.
I once owned a Frank Latta ex comp board that was just the same over the stringer, Skipp repaired a snapped nose that Frank did down at Green Island and I ended up snapping it near the middle, I repaired it and rode it for a bit longer, but it taught me a valuable lesson. If you're a fat turd, don't buy and Ex comp board
I just noticed, Harley is using a rope, there you go, even the best in the world can never be sure he won't need one.
