    ah yes, from the makers of a $5000 snowboard comes a honeycomb surfboard. They look pretty sweet, I'm not sure how I feel about the reduction of thickness in the paddling area... Maybe it's just too buoyant?

    OMG a sales pitch...Nah just kidding, I think they look pretty cool. Wish they had some around here to look at in person. Maybe demo. Thanks for sharing.

    none of this is new... Mike Daniels has mastered it without the sales pitch.... its just vac bagged epoxy boards, probably not even a true honeycomb... but who knows.

    meh. not impressed...board looks slow & it looked to me like the guy riding it was fighting to keep the thing moving through the whole vid & every maneuver looked forced. not a ringing endorsement of the boards or the tech, IMO.
