Origins of the Takayama Glass Slipper

I have 2 of these boards (one is a tri-fin round pin, the other a single fin diamond tail), and other than reading the description on www.hawaiianprodesigns.com, I don’t know much about the board’s design concept. This board seems like it is not as prevalent out in the water as other Takayama models, and I haven’t met any other owners.

It seems like it is a modified 70s shortboard. The extra entry rocker and wide point forward of center make it quite different than other boards.

With regards to the single fin diamond tail version, I’m curious as to the board’s inspiration, intention, and design concept.

Anyone know?

I’ll try to post some pics.
