That's the most helpful descriptive analysis I've seen on this forum. Just need a comparison chart with all the brands and their sharps naish, starboard etc and board selection is done.

I'm going to petition the local club to post that link on their website, it's excellent.

The simple answer to that is that the guys from BP Australia probably took the photo and the guys from BP Hawaii liked it so they decided to use it.

Not sure why there's a photo of the far south coast when they're in Hawaii, though...?

That's right R4H, the guys from Blue Planet Hawaii came over to the Merimbula Classic last year with us. But on point, the guide is one of the best we've seen. and in answer to CantSUPenough, in windy choppy conditions a pointier nose and increased rocker line will be less knocked around and hence be more stable than the fuller nose models. But again as it said, its a general guide for varying environmental conditions.

Check out the shape of the Bump Rider which has a great rocker line and good planing hull for strong downwind conditions -> www.blueplanetsup.com.au/
