Marc Andreini talking about one of his models the Vaquero (A hull-ish type board)
This info is taken from his own website - www.andreinisurfboards.com/
Marc Andreini is a designer and shaper of custom surfboards for over 40 years. Specializing in boards for all wave types, locations, and the special people who surf there. World wide shipping available.
The Vaquero is inspired by Greenough. Full outline. Single fin. Round tail with low rocker that features a rolled bottom forward fading into flat in the tail. A smooth flowing design. From 6'4' to 9'. For all around conditions all year round.
I'd say its more about shapers like Andreini developing his own kind of boards (especially hulls) that work best for a certain style of surfing.
So he's trialled and errored his way through changing the design elements to suit that style and the waves they are most often ridden in and is now telling us about them.
It's when the shaper claims their designs are the be all and end all of surfboard design (and others are rubbish) that they open themselves up to proving the claims.
When they post videos of their boards in action it is easier for the watcher to decide for themselves whether they would like to surf how that board rides however...
I've read plenty of times that in regard to hulls its more about their underfoot sensation than the spectacle to the onlooker.
It's when the shaper claims their designs are the be all and end all of surfboard design (and others are rubbish) that they open themselves up to proving the claims.
I think that we all know who that's aimed at, but if so it's utter BS as I've never claimed anything of the sort, and when I do criticise other designs I do so in a reasoned way.
You'll notice that I have little or no criticism of current mainstream shortboard design, and have stated that I'm impressed by the impressive results which are being achieved in that realm.
Anyway I'm going to watch Marc's video, and have no doubt that I'll like most of what he has to say.
The board rides beautifully and the explanation is simple and sensible, I like it.
How long is the board in the video?

Ok, which shaper(s) are you referring to then?

yeah I shouldn't have taken the bait.
Carry on....
I'm most interested in the idea that the bottom roll changes the roll angle of the board during trim, enhancing the trim.. I don't undertand it fully though, do you fellows get it?
Lol at the bait posted above
CJ Nelson and the 9' 6'' Andrini Vaquero.
"I was lucky enough to score this beautiful Andrini Vaquero a few months back. This board was made for Kirk Putnam to emulate boards that were ridden in a certain segment of ''Innermost limits of pure fun". Its a blast to ride such a long hull. It taught me a lot about trim and positioning. Thank you Marc for telling me the history and theory behind this particular board. Great design. camera-Justin Bowers music-Beachwood sparks"

I have no vendetta.
I surf many forums is all and have seen much first hand that you have yet to experience young grasshopper...but let us not tarry on such trivial matters...Let's go surfing instead of hanging around here arguing about surfboards and players of footerball.
