Haha.. first thing that came to my mind when I saw the pics of the snowboards was Peyronie's desease.I’ve always thought of surfboards as being two boards glued together at the stringer. One for the toe side, one for the heel side.
You have to make adjustments to stance/weight distribution depending on which board was primary. In practice you’re really just compromising.
On an Asym you can just set your feet in the sweet spot (HPSB) and just live there.
Where does the asym nose fit in?
Think about the 2 boards glued together. What they really are ideally is 2 anatomically compensated symmetrical boards. Tail cut short on the heel side gets a commensurate nose extension on that side. This way the two sides “match“. The effective rail lines are
Sym Nose with asym tail and you’re lopsided.
Now here’s where the problems lie. Making these things correctly so they FEEL right is extremely difficult.
Matt Parker has done the best job at it FOR ME.
Much more success with asyms can be found in snowboarding. It’s just easier to dial in concepts when the riding surface is stationary.
I got one of these awhile back and probably won’t ever ride a symmetrical snowboard again.
Asym Fish
Our award winning Asym Fish is back for another season and after a few offseason tweaks, she’s as ready as ever to put a smile on your face. Inspired by surf this dynamic shape is unlike anything else you have ever ridden. The unique outline utilizes varying edge lengths and sidecuts to assist...www.snoplanks.com
Come on Duff ,where’s the sweet carbon board outline pics at?
I have so many CI strings somehow over the year and my hoarding only makes it worse.
If I have a dud boar I’m first to blame the forced collab.

5'6" Plasmic Wing (Dark Arts)
An extremely diverse concept. Ride it short, with plenty of volume and an upright twin fin to make this board come alive in weak to average surf. Stretch it out and make it narrower (as seen in the electric acid test) for a good wave board, or leave it wide for a midlength. The deep, bonzer-like...

String ends too close to knot. Gey.
Fins made for the leash string! Or, wait, the other way around maybe? More wine!
duffman knows how to loop. that's some close tolerance, aero and hydrodynamical efficient sh!t. board will be free to perform as intended
Unboxed. It´s incredible how well the foam is hidden on the Townsend. It does not feel like 36 liters.
