It also allows the athletes participating in the sport to further push its limits. And that, Roy, is something your hands feel when they run the length of the board, what your solar plexus feels when you put the rail into a head high top to bottom wall of water and feel it respond like it was an italian sports car, not what your eye sees when it looks at a novelty longboard made out of strange woods with fins with teeth and a huge circular rocker and all the other insane things you employ in your artboards. Your artboards look neat. Thats it.
Biolos' boards actually ride well thus enhancing the surfing experience. The video's you've posted of your boards show you have zero understanding of shaping. ZERO. The last vid of the two NZers riding your board is proof enough. Those things might as well have a snowplow on the front. The boards push water forward and they are simply unturnable! Come on! END OF STORY! I wont even address the price tag due to its utter insanity. You can be steve jobs and the dali lama at the same time, Roy, you have to be one or the other. I think you would do well building rich people decks off of their mansions, or maybe creating wooden sculptures. Clearly you have an ability to craft, but not to shape.
