These pics were taking near the end of the foam shaping process. Ed and I decided to change the flat spot in the deck/nose area. We rounded out that region to increase the strength of the boat and decrease the amount of water load-up that happens when paddling out and through waves. I have kept considerable foot volume and tried to keep the knee pockets high and far enough to the sides that it should be a good cross-over from whitewater paddling ergonomics. Can't see the hull features in the pictures but feature a slight displacement nose, transitioning into strong double-barrel concave and quad runner channels all shaped into a moderate Vee with an e-wing at the flight. Very little tail rocker for max speed. Very much based on a bonzer hull. Will be very interesting to see how she flies. Had great input from Greg Webber (Webber Surfboards in Australia) and Tim Stafford (English shaper and Bonzer expert).
