F2 2011 presented by Daniel Aeberli at Surf-Festival Pelzerhaken 2010 :

seriously some of the graphics ive seen for some of the 2011 shots are crap.

I thought the boards on the right were from Tabou. I like them though,

i want the 82 SX

exactly what i thought

Nice review, thanks.

the more a look at the boards there not that bad,but do you think some of these graphics are going back to some of there earlier years...such as the logo style on the wave boards and the jp wave graphic i saw on the bottom too.

i like the rodeo graphics very much, and the blue board beside it is nice too.

back pads look like there on back to front

i think it's a stylised M... must of got them cheap from mistral.

Can tell you the SX 69 is a belter...........

Are they holding hands in the first photo?

no you can just see his finger tips

I might have to trade the 2007 SX's on their new ones,very nice

The far left Is a Tabou rip off can't see much originality there, and I don't usually comment about the opposition gear!

Which model/year tabou is it ripping off? I originally thought it looked like a tabou but I looked on the tabou website for the last 3 years and I couldn't see anything that looked like it.

^ i agree with gybesports.

my first thought was they've copied all of the other manufacturers.

the far right could be a mistral joker,
far left is tabou like
i can't put my finger on the slalom graphic. but i've seen it before
2nd from the right is fanatic like also.

Have a look at the car behind. What is that. Looks old shaped, yet new.

Ditto. I like the Rodeo graphics one.

Run out of ideas for your new race boards, just cut-paste-tweak your old grahics and hope everybody has fond memories of the old model.

I've got one of them in the trailer

Tabou Twister 107 2010


Tabou freestyle 107 2008

Fond memories Elmo?

@Gybesports
Ahh, I didn't look past the boards on the main page. Yep, definitely similarities.
You'd think they'd pick a nicer looking design to copy... then again pretty much every manufacturer is going ugly in 2011.

I like the new ones, I can remember really wanting an F2 wave slalom from years ago that had crazy aztec space invader graphics, some of the Sputnik graphics were pretty weird though.

Ugly is the new black

If you don't like the graphics post some better ones.

Seems to work for other manufacturers.

F2 are good 2

It's the Large, it's part of my "Fear factory" combo
Rigg 10.9 formula sail 50cm formula weedy and the puppy starts gliding at 7knots and can grab the footstraps at around 8knots, brown trousers occurs around 14knots

He's not holding Danny's hand, but something lower down

Slalom boards look like weapons, they look really nice.

Honestly I think the freestyle/wave boards look pretty gross. The whole Tabou flouro mind**** graphics remind me of a 80's discotech hangover. The surfing industry got over its little "heaps of **** graphics = a good graphic" stage about a year ago. They've cut it down, simple = cool = more recognisable label anyway eg JP. Though I think JP overdid it a little it seems every board looks the same. That said, whilst the illusion graphic on the Tabou's is intense it is simple and easily recognisable. Works for them.

Understatement FTW

Looking forward to seeing one of those raceboards

those are some nice boards would love to have some
