Recently I was browsing through through the surf science site and saw a review on one of my favorite boards, the Munoz.
This was the comment someone made.

Let me let you in on a secret. This board is identical to the hard rail, "Soft Top" board Surftech sells for half the price. It's the same board and made in the same mold, but with the Soft Top deck material. I bought the 12' version and it's identical dimensionally to the 12 Munoz Super Glide. An awesome point break board, but it's a handful when it's more than 2' overhead. Cross step and pivot on the tail and run up on the rail 60's style in the faces. An awesome cruiser for sure. Turns like a bus though, slow but it's punches through long sections and glides forever.

I thought, well that's interesting and then stored it in the deep dark recessed of my memory, somewhere between "must remember to rearrange my sock draw, and a particularly satisfying scratch of my scrotum I had back in 1973"
So here I am this morning having breaky and browsing through the news and media sites in search of various human interest stories (read titties and bums of famous and not so famous people), and I come across (not literally) these pictures of a very MILFY actor (okay I admit it, it was "literally") learning to surf.
www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2209808/Ali-Landry-gets-wave-action-husband-vacation-Hawaii.htmlSo after I've studied here arse and chest for a sufficiently long enough time, I then noted that she was on a softop and then I noted in about the sixth pic down, the one where you see the bottom of the board, a very distinct little teardrop conc under the nose.
That's the same little conc my Munoz has, so I guess that surf science contributor must he right, they may be pulled from the same mold.
Never really known what the conc is there for, it's certainly not to aid in the nose riding ability of the boad, because it has less ability to noseride than I do.
