what sort of length are these things? perspective makes it bit hard to judge. looks like a kneeboard for a grom.

Looks a lot like MP's fangtail from the early seventies.

MP's design was justified on the basis he was a bipolar heroin addict. Cole?

Designed for Batman's "first best friend" Robin.

and it'd likely be pretty stable floating over sections and scream along in the tube..

have my doubts about how it'd pivot on the spot, surf tight and vertically, and be quickly check-turned for fine adjustments to your line...

likely an unreal weapon for blasting the shit out anything knee to chest high, junk or otherwise, where all you need to do is mow down anything in your path, and not worry to much about surfing tight top-to-bottom..

i dont do big cutties or airs so sounds good to me!

Don’t think the machines would Dino, well the machines would but to do the design using the software might be a nightmare. Haven’t seen anything overly complex off one yet, but I don’t get out much.

I go done by hand.

Form or function? Both for mine, but bloody hell you want to be charging like a wounded bull.

Very functional but holy fcuk that is one dangerous looking surfboard.
Maybe a form of population control if it catches on?

That is why the question, form or function?

^^how did it ride and what kind of waves

im not sure about form and or function.
i havent seen any around my area or anything that looks like it.
maybe the japanese just like the futuristic look of the thing. im not a shaper but it does look like loads of work.
