[b] I rekon this corky thing just means you can go less
volume or maybe a slightly lower profile rail.


Corkiness is thickness/volume/weight. There have not been many boards made under 4". I beleive this will be the next step in board design to see how much thinner they can go and the improved rail thickness it will bring.

My previous board felt corky the first two times I used but then I got used to it and it became irrelevant. Then I just enjoyed being able to hit lips!





i can tell you my board at 8' 10"x29"x 4" and a low rail means if your board tips to one side and goes under water, it's very hard to correct, if at all. the naish 8 10 has a thicker rail- you can make a save,that's what a few of the boy's are finding on them

LSD can you please post 2 photos one of your boards on a wave and one of someone paddling in the ocean only see them in the lake. Would be a nice change. Look nice and stable in flat water.


Unfortunately these are all I have, you may have seen them.
I surf mid week alot, so no one around to film. Will invest in a gopro oneday



My son Adam 6'4" & 95kg on his 7'10" x 31"


I would have paid someone to take shots/video last thur on these waves,no one out but me very rare. Felt very privileged. Some very high speed rides. I need to be able to study board dynamics on waves like that.



This day last week off pt Danger. It was solid 6' & windy 20knts. Very late drops with a foot thick lip close behind. Got very rough & had to paddle in prone. stability was no prob, head wind was.

A shot taken 2 years ago by a pro that happened to be at Bells on the day. Was having a shot on a Stonker

Really you need to get some good riders on them so they can work like the heavy production boards
