Those 11-2s are nuts!  Do they come with their own case?

If the Maneuverability was more like a 7.5 or 8 on the Nut, I'd consider it.
The Air Born is an 8.5, so why not just give the Nut at least a 7.5?


I'm assuming that with Maneuverability they are referring to getting the board from a tight storage spot to the beach.

It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

I saw a prototype that was shaped similarly.  It rode waves quite well but waves would come over the back half while paddling and made it impossible to paddle.  It will be interesting to see how this one paddles, maybe Starboard figured it out.

It's an old idea--shortboard rails and longboard glide. Works, sort of, but I'd hate for it to be my only board.
Foote 10'4X34", SIC 17.5 V1 hollow and an EPS one in Hood River. Foote 9'0" x 31", L41 8'8", 18' Speedboard, etc. etc.

I was going to use anabolic rails but I was afraid I wouldn't pass the urine test...

The urine test is what they use to see if your rails are diabolic.  If you put even a tiny bit of extra weight in one rail, urine.
