New Maliko video

[Eagle]

Kathy is on a Foote Maliko? Sweet. Looks like it turns nicely. Width? Weight?

Does Bill evolve the shape or it's stayed the same all this time?

"Bill is constantly refining the Maliko 14′ design and construction features to ensure it remains the fastest downwind board on the market today."

Riggs makes it look so easy ... I don't think he even broke a sweat.

Does a GoPro make a board look narrower, the same way it makes a wave look smaller? If not, Jeremy's board looks even narrower than 24". That video was great to watch. Really showed how helpful steering can be. Thanks for posting.

Every one is a little different, since they're all hand made, but they've been fast since the first one. The weight is whatever you want to pay for. Admin had a superlight one made that always felt like it was going to blow off the water. Honeycombed EPS with a thin layer of PVC over it to cover all the holes. They're glassed at Nelson Boardworks so you can have any combination of strength/weight you like. It's only $$$. With an Aircore fin on the back they're crazy responsive, I think that's what Kathy is using.

Jeremy is an Alien.

So, today Jeremy got his 'new' ski. I don't know squat about surf ski's but this is LPB's old boat so I'm guessing it's pretty good. So, now Jeremy's got a 2 man outrigger and the ski as well as the narrowest board known to man or alien. He's going to really be fast in the new boat. I'll try and paddle with him one time before he figures it out and leaves me in his wake....

Good luck with that. Jeremy would be faster than me if he was sitting on the wrong side.

It will take him at least one run to figure it out. They are pretty technical. If I go in my outrigger, that gives me a fighting chance. The key is to go really fast that first time and then never paddle with him again. That way you can pretend you're fast.
