Here's an interesting one;
5'7 Stubby/hull for my friend Hiten. the stringer tapers to both the nose and tail from the center; the idea being that since your foot placement on these boards is towards the center and in trim about 90% of the time, we can load up energy through the WHOLE board on a good bottom turn, instead of just the tail (most tapered stringer boards go to the tail only). the pics make the stringer look super short, it measures 3' long front to back.
A lot of loading on the bottom turn will turn into a whole lot of projection down the line...this should be a very very lively board :)
