| 213651 | 7331 | Those parallel railed, wide tailed logs... | 92 | RockyIsland | Jul 17, 2021 | 2021-07-17T19:09:47-0400 | jory said: Hard to totally make sense explaining but it's the concave under your back foot as you turn that changes the feel. it's an interesting board for sure. It's the only single fin my friend Ashley has ever liked! ( he's a die hard prog surfer ) and Ben totally rips on it in a traditional sense. I'll try and have another go on one soon and report! Click to expand... Thanks Jory yes that makes a lot of sense. I really like rolled bottom boards that you can subtly surf with just fine ankle movements which is what I love about the Gato Heroi Playboy.....lots of feedback through the feet. Not a big fan of deep nose concave and super wide platform noses as we get a lot of wind and I find sometimes its hard to get down the face. Its interesting that Ben has put the concave more in the middle of the board and less in the nose according to the the Video. I have only seen photos on line so hard to tell how the bottom contours look. Fascinated to have a go as I really like where Ben is coming from in his approach. TBs are hard to get in Oz but sounds like my local shaper mate is getting one in as a demo. Looking forward to your report cheers |
