This thing looks like an awesome shape for a kneeboard - check out the concave channels 8)

"drastically reduce drag" .(channels) HA!

channels CAUSE drag because the added surface area!

Low low rocker isnt my favorite either....

if an aviso breaks, which they can, they fill with water and your stuck with an anchor leashed to your ankle.. ...NEED A QUiCK ReLEASE PULL PIN!

i do dig the squared off bat tail though....

im not so into the deep channels on the bottom as well, bottom contours need to be very slight. the splitting of seams ,punctures, skin/ core separation issues are being taken care of. still they are pricey. im not sure how i feel about a super light board. i guess ill ride one before i say to much.
