2015 New Race board from Starboard

[raf]

I had a chance to look at the new Race from Starboard last week.  Looks like a really fast board.  It is supposed to take the speed elements from the Sprint and blend them with the "user-friendliness" of the All-star (Starboard's wording)  I was surprised at the extreme concave of the bottom at the rear, as well as the oversized drain holes.  Overall the board seems pretty flat.  Another interesting thing was the overall plan shape of the board, with a pronounced "hip" at the standing area, and then tapering aggressively towards the nose and tail.  Anyhow, judge for yourselves:

PS. apologies for the sideways pics...they don't load that way when I import them.  Dunno why they came out that way on here.  Click on them and they will reload in the proper orientation.

Thanks for sharing.
Looks to me like the tails are getting beefier, perhaps a great idea for an all-around board (that would tend itself well for some DW action).
The concave idea is cool. I'd love to see one in person, but France's shipment isn't due until Jan 2015.
