Jimmy z ......they look better in real life and you are right they are a beautiful peice of work and I swear they have the ride that backs it up. When I rode mine the first time it took about 100m and i was hooked. It is a very cool ride. Not for the sideways rip your arms out, under over, upsidedown slam onto the water at 100mph type rider. But on a wave and for big air with soft landings it takes a lot of beating. Smoothest driest board I have ever riden in the chop without question.
( I have had quite a few boards, liked them all but this one is something quite different, I might be wrong but I believe mine might be the only 1 in Aussie at this point in time )
