Nuclear powered double concave and how's the rails ....that looks insane , the controllers should be a good match also worth trying swapping the front of the controller set with a pair of Panhco's.

So how does it go ?

I had a Chris Garrett shaped sup that had a very pronoucned double concave like that...not quite as much and it had standard rails going into a flyer with swallow. It was hands down the fastest sup Ive ridden to date, I found it a little harder to release into the turns than other boards, but In reflection was a great board. I will have another Garrett when I can.

great looking board L41, Id be interested to hear how it feels releasing from a speedy down the line run?

There's a lot of surface area in a small package here. Combined with the deep concaves, this thing gets up on a plane with ease and flies down the line. The chined rails are my interpretation of something Blane Chambers (Hi Blane!) has so masterfully adapted to SUP design. Chines are nothing new but for these thick, wide boards it's a brilliant approach to rail volume reduction. He's done all the R&D on this and deserves the credit.
