ha what do you think?

Toe-out on the fins?

Would be interesting to see how it rides.

I think GSI are going to try and get one to test out.

Yeah , there’s another thread with those boards already…it would be interesting to get some insight into the methods they used to arrive at this unusual design…although , I think , unless the board is actually ridden , and the performance documented , it would be nothing more than an exercise in show-pony buffoonery to impress people that have little involvement in the art of surfing…(lol)

As a design exercise it is Beautiful. Very sexy lines and the offset of wood with advanced carbon materials is a nice touch.  

 What the Designer failed to do was make it a real Board that would wrk in real surf conditions.  

It would be interesting for a Shaper to take that concept and make a Board that would function.  

Balsa! Do you hear a challenge calling you? Who Knows maybe Peugeot will pay a nice fat consulting fee to make a prototype to be surfed in real surf by a real surfer.

When I was a kid, I had a Peugeot 10 speed bicycle.

It rode well.

Who knows…

I agree. The combo of wood and carbon looks great.

Barry you are another one that has the skills, to turn a concept design into something that will acually function as a surfboard.
