Any JB'ers riding them? They seem to be working well under the feet of talented people, but curious to know how they go for mere mortals. |

I would be interested to look at that bottom shape and rail rocker line. My money is on some similarity with a Hot Gen style board in terms of rocker etc... Interesting design. |

I personally hate how wider tails feel under foot because I like to have immediate response between toeside and heelside rail when rocking my back ankle.. I'm not a power surfer off my back leg. If you are though (I know @Tenfooter is) then it might work great for you |

There's also the way that tail locks in to a nose ride that intrigues me. Logic suggests that that straight rail should pop out, but it looks like it really helps (again, under the feet of maestros, at least) |

He chatted with us for over an hour, showed us his shaping bay and glassing area. We met his son, Kai, a friend from gradeschool and his glasser. He had a shop full of boards being built and a ton of blanks with orders waiting to be fulfilled. Michael has been building boards for many years, but now is transitioning from being a flooring contractor to building boards full time. Michael was a lot of fun to talk to. He had lots of stories and information about his boards. He recommended I look at the Annihilator model which is 24" wide, parallel and wide tailed. He explained he had several different tail configurations of varying thickness and he recommended the foiled out tail for my board. He said the boards provide a stable noseriding platform while being easy to turn. The younger / smaller riders seemed to be able to turn them with ease. Longbordian recently did a podcast with him, I haven't listened to, but here it is: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-longboardarian-podcast/id1452115482 There was also a clip of the host riding the Annihilator that was previously Kai's board and he seemed to enjoy it: https://www.instagram.com/tv/B7RPUixHwj-/ Now to figure out which colors to get |

I'm definitely a mere mortal and a confirmed weekend warrior. Here's my take from another thread: "I rode a Speed Demon in San Diego last summer and my conclusion was that I simply may not be the astronaut for that spacecraft. I'm surfing a lot more regularly now and have access to my friend's Speed Demon....maybe I'll give it another whirl. My daily driver is a Dane shaped 9'8" trad-noserider. It's always hard not to paddle that thing out. I love it so." Maybe I'll get another chance soon. Now that fall is upon us and the waves should be picking up, I think I'll borrow my friend's board and report back. |

It was a blast to ride it. Once you turn and trim it, you can go with you family and friends to the nose, dance salsa, set up a table and have a couple beers, And so much.that board is a true noserider. |

A fellow jamboarder, joeblackuz, helped me pick up a steal of a 10' silverspoon in LA and it's been a great board. I'm not a proficient noserider, but that thing is super stable and really fun to ride. I ran into Matt Calvani at beacons while riding it and he checked it out, said it was back when he was glassing them pretty heavy. My buddy who is holding on to the board also has a Cali square tail and he prefers to ride the silverspoon. |

Thanks I mocked half a dozen schemes and this one won out. When I ordered he said 5-6 months. It was right at about 5 months when he said to give him a call to get everything dialed in and the plan was to pick up 2 weeks later. I ultimately had to cancel my trip to Socal due to covid and I let him know. He held off on building it immediately because it was just going to sit in his shop until I could pick it up. I'm a couple weeks out from a trip now to pick it up and he magically completed it without me calling . |

I don't know much about them besides he recommended the Annihilator to a mediocre surfer trying to improve in noseriding. He said I'd have a much easier time with that board. It seems like many of his riders choose the Perplexer for point breaks. His WTF model is a wide hips back aussie style board and he posted something about no concave and V in the nose. |

(perplexer, annihilator, hobie thagomizer, speed demons, etc). Interested to see if it's just the riders that can nose ride extremely well, or if they actually are magic. I'm a big fin of rounded/pintails so the learning adjustment may be a bit discouraging at first, but will definitely post a ride report when I get it....in 14 months :| Click to expand... You won't be disappointed. My initial thoughts before I rode an Annihilator was it would be hard to turn. It is not hard to turn, and I consider myself a below average noserider, meaning I can get to the nose and hang 5. This board is super stable, and easy to walk. |

What I didn’t like about it was while it turned really well, it had to be turned off the tail. With the extreme tail rocker and wide tail that’s just the way it turned best, it really liked to pivot turn rather then carve a turn. I also like a board with more nose rocker, and the one I had was really flat up front. I will say though, the craftsmanship was top notch all the way. Dane is an awesome shaper. |

I have one in my Kaimana model, which isn't a wide tail like Michael's Annihilator/Perplexer and those other boards loosely based on those models. |

The Osprey liked to be turned more from the tail and I thought all that rake held it back. I ended up finding the original Osprey fin that was made for the board and it worked really well.

Where are the Speed Demon and Michael Takayama people? How have you been liking them? I'm curious on how you guys have been sizing them. With the flat nose rocker, huge tail and parallel outline, I'm thinking of going smaller. My standard noserider is 9'4, but since the Speed Demon is not really noserider focused, I was thinking about dropping it to 9'0. I'm thinking it will be a speedy maneuverable board that can also noseride. I kind of got ruined by riding my 8'9 mini glider so much, my 9'4 log feels like a slug, excited for the Speed Demon. |

Friday night it wasn't any more then ankle high and somehow at 9'6 I was still able to catch most everything. I don't know if it's the wide tail, the overall width, the pulled in nose or what, but it seems to work. On Saturday the swell picked up a bit, still not great and it was more of the same.

I can't wait to get on some quality waves in a couple weeks and see how my poor attempts at noseriding go. I don't remember if it was Kai or Veedster that were talking on a podcast but they mentioned the board was inspired from a Con model. |

When I talked to Dane about it he gave a pretty elaborate response on how it works and what it does. Simply put it produces a bit more drive and hold out of a single fin, more amplified. In my opinion, its pretty ingenious. |

I think it's best described as a single Fin nose rider designed for Surfers who ride performance longboards if that makes sense. it does noseride insanely well but it's quite light and the concave makes it sit high on the water so it's pretty loose off the tail ( I've seen Ben skinner and also a local guy here chuck one quite vertically) it feels quite different to a normal single fin log ( more twitchy and lively) which might suit you or it might not. one of My friends is a die hard performance longboarder and has said it's the least boring single fin he's ridden. |

How would it compare to a Model T as that would be the only wide/parallel rail log I have ridden and I have never owned a dedicated nose rider. The last 10 years I have surfed wide point back pulled in nose Involvement logs but as I am getting older and slower thought I might try one of these as I like the idea of a slightly pulled in nose template and a dedicated nose rider. I understand you have a Dead Kooks Nausea of which I have a had a go on a mates. How would that compare to the Cherry Picker? THanks again |

I only had a couple of small waves on it so it's a limited experience. the model t is quite different. The T and to an extent the nausea are roll bottom traditional style and so you can kinda surf them passively just wandering up and down and leaning into turns. The picker feels more like a progressive mal In that it rewards a more active aggressive input into turning it. Does that make sense? it's kinda designed by someone who grew up on 2+1s surfing contests and surfing in a progressive way but as something that will now allow him to surf to the more traditional criteria without feeling too slow and passive / pedestrian. Does that make 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 |

I "think" the bottom is concave for about 2/3 then a slight roll then concave again out the back. If you search, I started a thread a couple of years ago called I think "logs with concave bottoms" that has some info about one of my boards and where I saw the idea that predates the cherry picker! I actually rode the board in that thread a lot again recently. It's really fun. |
