Anyone seen this board, it is a surtech, looks like some kind of carbon fiber weeve.  I have seen a couple prototypes on the river in Glenwood.  Seem bomb proof and looks like they surf really well.
Any info would be apreciated.

I have one, its called the B1 (as in its bomber!) It really is. I have abused it on purpose for Surftech to see how it holds up. Got it the first week of June and have surfed it and river run it and love it. Paddles great and is as close to unbreakable as I have found. Won't even ding. Not sure what the material is but even threw it in the air last night to watch it bounce as a demonstration and it still looks like new.
As for performance I have been teaching new paddlers on it and its plenty stable on flatwater but at the same time I can take it to Glenwood or Big Sur and surf it, fish off it or take it to the coast. They made a great board. Last a long time and surf/paddle really well.

Moutainpaddler, do you know how much it weights?

Thanks

You want a strong board for sure... WW SUP get beaten to death!! They're gonna get all scratched up but you don't want them to ding - that'll ruin your day!

The B1 is a sweet board. But the paint job is fooling you to thinking it's CF. I haven't surfed it but flat water is great. Just had it at a demo weekend where we watched countless people paddle over the top of a submerged chain link fence, and the stock weed fin works really well. :o  The board came home without a mark.
My buddy is taking it down river this week. I'm already jealous.
