Mike,
If you were to do the board over again would you make the tail wider or would you do something else to reduce the tail drag?

Hi Mr Mike,
Just absolutely had to chip in here. That double-ended board is pretty beyond words! I love it. This is just my kind of thing. I'm very taken with the idea of one board for all sorts of circumstance and the fact that it's gorgeous looking is a bonus. Very nice indeed! I wish I had your talent for making boards.
All the best (waves)

Mike,
Looks like a new direction (or more likely revisiting a previous idea) - how does it ride compared to your other boards?

Andy,
how much nose and tail lift does the board have? The ride report will be interesting.

Hi Bob
The nose lift 2.5", 1.5" thick rails. deck and bottom are ply with balsa rails. Board is bottom side up in the profile view. Unfortunately I am never going to get to ride this one as its going to someone else...
I'll be posting some more images at this spot.

ps I have also jumped on the bandwagon and have started work on a hollow alaia........
cheers
