Hmmmm. I don't see the overall benefit of such curvy lines.

He's got a few pics of shorter boards here.

Rod and I saw the curvy one at a contest in early June. The riders couldn't seem
to get it wired and did not distinguish themselves on it. Looks plain weird to
me.

Kind of old news, really. TSJ did an article about a year ago.
Seems to be just an extreme version of Morey's Swizzle.
Novel as they are, I'm not impressed. The guy probably never
shaped much of anything, and my gut says he's not much of a
surfer, either.

Designers need to differentiate themselves from what's already out
there, but the guy sure does use the word "I" a lot.

Despite what Foon says, I, for one, do like the curvy lines and saw
several good ones at the contest he mentioned.

Three quarters of a bottle of Bombay Blue Sapphire missing says otherwise.
