Pop Outs?

I have seen the word “pop out” to describe beginner boards. Is the term used to describe the boards poping out of a mold or does it have to do something with the boards popping out the water easily?

Just curious,

Thanks, Matt

mass-produced in asia

Pop outs were first produced in the US in the early sixties.

I’d say ninety percent of what I see in the shops and in the water around here are pop outs. I’m not talking about epoxy from Asia, either. They all look alike. Same basic shape in one inch increments. Computer generated. Mike
