Do you ever rest an elbow(s) on these things when you ride 'em? At 20 inches in length there would seem to be room for a forearm to rest on the deck.

It can depend on the board, but for me it's one forearm on the deck more often than both forearms, and both forearms on the deck more often than neither (wrist power only.) It also helps to have the wide point of the board at or near the tail. A long-armed Swahili might need something longer than 20.5 inches, but I think most folks could go as short as 18 inches and still plant an elbow.

I guess if I really think about it for me it usually is one hand/forearm and the other just the hand, although sometimes both forearms down. To one hand it seems like an invitation to have the bugger pop up into my already humble face. That usually leaves me dragging elbows a bit, but since my whole lower half is also already in the water I don't see why that would make any difference.

Until you try something like these boards it is hard to believe how much immediate planing you get, and how much that helps catching even small waves. That's a nice board the guy is showing on Swaylock's, too...Poobah's also since I haven't commented on them before.

Can't access Swaylocks at the moment. Has anyone got a picture of this thing?

Specs:

- 20.5"Lx14.25"Wx1/2"(corecell) w/Bat tail
- super mellow 5/8" semi-continuous rocker- last 6" is dead flat
- 6oz./6oz. carbon/4oz. deck w/ very fine traction coat,
- 6oz. carbon/4oz. w/sanded base
- twin, removable, fully adjustable 2.5" RFC mini-skegs
- 1lbs. 4oz. finless weight/1lbs. 8oz. w/fins

More notes from Alex in a later Swaylock's thread:

As for some more of the details on my latest board:

I vac-bagged it in two shots, on an adjustable steel rocker table. The rails are double wrapped with the 6oz carbon and 4oz. glass. I used the extra layer of 4oz. on the top and bottom as a protective coat for the airbrushing, and to cut flush at the rails edge for an extra clean rail line. For the traction coat, I used some epoxy and a copious amount of 'yacht style' deck traction... It goes on really smooth and thin, and suprisingly enough dosen't irritate skin when combined with a light coat of wax. I made the wake/kite style mounts for the fins out of pigmented glass-fiber/epoxy... pretty cool fins as I can can adjust them front and back by a 1/2". The fins also have a slight amount of tow-in.
