watched over 20 different guys riding the meyerhoffer "the HOFF" board at noosa during the comp and not one of them had a totally negitive vibe about the board
although they were surfing out at ti tree in 3foot+ waves and none where really trying to ride the nose
i watched alot of mal riders cranking some very aggressive turns
it would have been a different story if they were all surfing first point
like the crew in the "one design" heats as good as first point was its a small gutless wave and favours a nose riding style (just my opinion)
i even came in after riding a few waves at first point and had to wax the nose of my 9'3 naish which has never been waxed 3 feet from the nose before
in this pic at first point im standing where i never had wax before
i didnt ride the HOFF myself but would like to have a go one day....maybe not.....
