Anyone know anything about this board>|?

[[{“fid”:“109510”,“view_mode”:“default”,“fields”:{“format”:“default”,“alignment”:“”},“type”:“media”,“field_deltas”:{“1”:{“format”:“default”,“alignment”:“”}},“link_text”:null,“attributes”:{“class”:“media-element file-default”,“data-delta”:“1”}}]]

Obviously mad skills but looks to me like either finless or only very small fins right near tail. I’d love to know more about the design, shaper, whatever

Don’t have your answer, but if that is finless it’s a miracle (can’t imagine that it is). Looks like your other guess is probably right: smallish fins with other features (maybe fishy planshape with waist?) that work well with that (something with some lift when the board is flat, drive when the board is on rail).

Watching in slowest play mode youtube has, could not see any fins though there could be very small keels or runners way back. Board seemed to slide etc when he wanted it to much like finless…

I’m not looking at the fins, I’m looking at the way the board turns. Can’t do that without fins. Just sayin’.

Watched again at slowest speed and paused near beginning where he blows the tail out and looks like small fin right at the back. Hard to say but Huck, I agree a lot of that you just could not do without something giving extra traction.

You know what they say about curiosity so I emailed Vissla, the company that posted the video, and asked for info on the board. If anything comes back I will post it.

Well, maybe this will share some light on the guy and his boards. There is maybe one shot of that board from the other video but of course it shows the deck.

 

Thanks Monkstrar1. Watching the first vid again, yeah, almost certainly an asym and just getting a wee peak at the single fin (or would that be  1/2 twin fin?)

Looks to be the same board in this article: http://www.goodbrine.com/bryce-young-on-a-twinnie-in-hawaii/

Looks like maybe the same board in this photo, too, and like it’s about 3’ long:

[edit: this pic is probably your answer, along with the other info: https://stabmag.com/assets/post-hero-banners/_resampled/ScaleWidthWyIxMjAwIl0-klein-hawaii-dec2015-004595.jpg The board is small, the rider super skilled, and the fins are clear, probably MR-TFX/T1 type templates, and placed fairly forward. Google search turned up some other photos of boards by Ryan Burch that had similar looking deck cosmetics.]

batfische, great sleuthing! Thank you. Almost like scratching an itch. 

I don’t know, but I can see the wake of of an outside fin on turns and cutbacks.  Can you?

I think so. The clear/transparent fin thing makes sense though most of “clear” fins for sale are translucent colored and not actually transparent.
