Check out this 6'7" SUP board... http://web.mac.com/tomtomproductions1/tomtomproductions1/Kainoa_Beaupres_67%22_SUB.html
You can see by the pics why I call these short wide boards 'pumpkin seeds'..
Here's a few great vids.

I dont like the full mal style noses on these boards, maybe thats why you call them "pumpkin seeds" dj.
Much prefer the pulled in nose , more surfboard style, less rail to get caught up on late steep drops
Any idea how big the yellow board is in the clips?
6'10" is ridiculous! I'd be curious to have a go though.
I havnt received it yet Bren I just tracked it via star track, it is in melbourne should be here monday or tuesday
We have had crap conditions down here, hope it goes off shore sometime this YEAR
Will get some pics next week.
Brendan, if you look at page two of this post you will see the PDF of Brooko's board with the rail shapes, they have a flat deck and this is how the finished decks look. I'm at home with a couple of sick kids today.

Brooko,
gOT your stick yet? Shaping tomozza morning. Made the blank thins week (thanks Karl). Cant wait. Settled on 8'3" x 30" x 3.9"
Texta on the blank, the boards are thick and stiff enough for stringerless, especially the wooden deck ones. I have just finished and uploaded to youtube my first clip from my GOPRO, It is currently at the processing stage. I'll post the link shortly, it is 4min15.

And a good clip it is.
Rod, do you get much flex in your boards? I know I used to feel my old Bonga flexing
in anything 4ft or over when it got a bit bumpy. It could just be the construction of Southpoint boards.
I notice a little in my Oxbow but far less than the Bonga.
Cheers

There is always a little flex, the closer they are to 4", and the longer they are the more flex there is. Standard engineering principles.
I always get more in the nose as I like to keep the noses thinner for less swing weight.
