Very nice looking. The overall template is very similar to my current paipo so evaluating the skeg wouldn't be too hard.

Thanks Rod for the comment. You can't tell in the photo... There are FCS plugs installed. Hoping the hoop works but if not, standard twin fins are at the ready.

It has a concave deck with an edge along the rail crown and a concave/reverse rocker bottom.

Here are a couple other pics...

What is the function of the horizontal part of the hoop?

Hi Paipo Jim -

Hell if I know. Probably about as much function as the paint job. I guess it was mainly just to have some fun! Hard to take belly riding too seriously...

I like of options of no fin, one hoop or two fins. Will that board be at Plaskett Creek this month for SA 2005?
