I was over at Hayden this arvo picking up a board that was getting repaired. The team over there do a fantastic job. While I was there they showed me their new design for their first SUP. For those who don't know Hayden Surf Craft they have been deigning boards since 1959.
www.haydensurf.com/ Alex Baxter is shaping this board. I may not remember all he said but here goes. 10' long by 29" wide by around 4" high. Plenty of rocker and the rails are 60/40 with a round tail. It look great at the stage that it is at and will be more of a performance board. It will have the option of quad or tri fin setup.
I have asked Alex to post is images as he goes onto this forum. It should be ready for a test in about 3 weeks.
It is good to see that major shaping places see a great future for this sport and are supporting it with R and D.
I will put up some images when I have some.
Cheers
