Like it Phil. You should call this one Cool Runnings. Just one very minor criticism, hopefully constructive - the ocean is not staring. (on second thoughts, maybe it is)

Yeah I can't claim it though. The people who made the film about the jamaican olympic bobsled team get that credit. so just be careful about copyright!!

I like the leash plug up forward to remove the usual drag with leg rope great idea.

What is the port or vent at the back? Your foot gets quite close to it several times.

Can I ask how far forward of the tail is the rudder as it has such a narrow tail?

5 hours in what we saw from the side angle the other day, man you must have balls of steel Iron Phill.

I agree with Jed the angle could be more flattering its a joke ok

Phill.

G'day OG SUP
the rudder is 1/2 way up the board. the other plug near the tail you can see is a legrope plug I never use that one. I got better runners than that just past Cudgen Reef I was getting 200 + metre runners my back foot was right on the tail as far back as you can go ( I feel off a couple of times from burying the rail. Ray my support boat driver has never seen a SUP in action before he could not beleive what he was seeing Ray had to give the jet-ski some just to keep up (to funny) you'll see these runners on video soon.
