well it's butt has the famous channel and step with the manta tail.

so in short, yes, very big cutouts. basically the wetted area is almost zilch and the pressure at the rear of the board is minimal when planning. (that is what the cut outs do)
trust me nebs, you ain't going to be the first to do 30 on it.

unlike my proto needle
which is meant for 20+knots on a broad course.
this one will go to windward,
will rip on a beam reach
has the extra volume for when the winds marginal.
will carry my 7.5m

the board also has the newly designed entry shape to the channel to stop it catching on the swell in front and to increase early planing.
can't wait.
and yes, you can definately take it for a spin. the whole team will i am sure.
