This has been done for the guy shaping the DC’s in France to understand the modifications dale is doing on the nose of the new boards.
I thought some could be interested to watch...
Great vid.. Nice shape.
The Naish 17 has a similar nose and it works great.
In my vid here if you look real close at the 3.12 mark the nose goes under and the board doesn't slow, bog or do anything but just go straight and the water flys across the deck as the nose comes straight back up.
