It's the Chris Garrett rocket fish, but with all the Deus branding, hipster resin tints, cutlap glassing etc. the Rocket fish is one of his prior models, based off the early 80's Town and Country twins that Martin potter was riding, though with massive concave bottom and stabiliser fin.
Sounds good hatchy, lemme know!

I remember some wheelchair xylophonist getting all macho about how he liked to smash absolutely heaps of Weetbix before a hard day's roofing

Custom twinny. Shaped and ready for glassing. Criteria was "warp speed and super loose board for average quality beachbreaks from waist high to a little overhead". Looks like it'll do the trick.

Looks like more fun than a box full of birds.
Fair bit of toe-in, or just the perspective?

Perspective. The concave is a trip. Single for sheer speed. 12 mil at deepest point in front of the fins.

Did I read the stringer correctly?

Actually no I didn't. Lol.That would be taking self deprecation to the limit.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

No vee. Single concave exits the tail. There'll be a small stabiliser fin.

It will be lightening. With those big fins your knees and hips will be ripped to shreds figure 8'ing all over the place.
