Cheers Bro, the beast doesn't like people standing on it's nose (although the board does have a long sweet spot, so it can be ridden slightly further forward for longer drawing lines)

Hello Calisurfer, the board is heavy so it rolls under the whitewater efficiently, and it has a fairly high paddle speed which helps paddling out too. It's at it's best (In terms of paddling out) in longer period swells if there is some size.

I have been playing around with boardbuilding since I was a nipper (around 1970) and then got right into it using our present design and construction system during 1995

Thanks guys.

Tomcat, the board 1s 17'x 26" x 2.5" and has 10 inches of rocker (the rocker is one big arc perfectly even arc nose to tail so the nose and tail rockers are identical )
