i watched the one design heats at noosa yesterday,didnt see a polished performance on these boards,back in the bottle board days,dont know who shaped them,well they just didnt catch on,now these new beasties are way weirder than the bottle and just dont seem to go in longboard waves,imo,i havent surfed one so this is an observation.will watch the finals with great interest,first prize is a myerhoffer,i wonder what second prize is
