well I seriously doubt they could ride those sort of boards in the pocket where they get highly judged as good as their shorties. In saying that tho its true Currenesque, like in France he took out an old skip frye (?) boat fishy thing and took out Hoyo in 2-3 ft fat runners. (with great USofA dude ...

hmm .. it's probably to do with the fact that it was a 4 fin? i did notice that his board was riding flatter, kind of how twinnies tend to, which is directly related to the distance between the rail and where your feet are ie width.

I've actually had good surfers grab some lately and they have come back with some very positive feedback, and its been the 601 & 602 Flexfires.

don't think so. They make their Flexlites out of Asia already.
They've restructured their surfboard program but to my knowledge still doing a fair bit here.
