You have no idea, and are technically wrong as the WP is at 50/50 and the tail has less area than the nose.

This shows the lines better:

"The 'Queen of Diamonds' ... as the Dragon 13-9 Super longboard is known in house ... has arrived, all set to burn the opposition's tail feathers. The NZ-built 2012 'mid-engined' glider is one in a quiver of completely new entrants in the emerging world of super longboards . New from every point of view – design, hydro and aerodynamics, handling, construction and ergonomics. It is a surfboard which is capable of giving the traditional offerings in the segment – Frye, Cooper, Phillips, Wegener , Parmenter and their respective test riders sleepless nights."

Hey Roy, good to see you're still at it. Have you sold a top-end board yet?

When we do I'll celebrate by coming to Noosa and wave hogging.

The first few waves on the new Dragon, and my first surf for 6 months. The swell was low period at 7 seconds, my surfing is rusty and I'm standing a bit too far back but the board is great and I'm looking forward to getting her dialled in with some better waves.

Randy Rarick had the same trouble locating the G, oops....I mean sweet spot.
Regular little spam bot aren't you Royston.

STFU troll, it's a f*cking ride report FFS.

All you do is find some comment on surfermag and then rephrase it. Pathetic.

It's normal to take a session or so to dial in to a new board, and I'm pretty close already. It has to become instinctive. The board felt good and I can't wait to get it out there again. She is nimble for a 13'9" 48 pound board with such a low rocker.

Rarick fell off four out of six waves and then blamed the board, ergo he is a kook.

The new Dragon is 9 inches longer, and 13 pounds heavier than the Ghost 13. I wanted to keep plenty of weight while bring it back from the 70 pounds which the original Dragon weighed, mainly to get a bit more buoyancy without going thicker. Forty eight pounds feels good, but rather light. Another 10 pounds would be nice but i'm sure that we'll get along fine at 48.

thing looks like it planes pretty efficiently.

would be loads of fun at a fast, long, tiny point wave.

Looks epic Roy and I loved this : It is a surfboard which is capable of giving the traditional offerings in the segment – Frye, Cooper, Phillips, Wegener , Parmenter and their respective test riders sleepless nights."

Ahem...so a "ride report" by the creator of said ride which is for sale with an astronomical price tag is in no way an advertorial.
Nice cut and paste again btw.
