WHy does noone call out Matt Parker for copying the Trunk, which predates the Plasmic by many years? Not just the channels, but the outline is pretty spot on too.
It’s certainly been brought up before. I think people now just not that familiar with Cole anymore. It’s a moot point tho…
Tomo’s dad in Lennox was doing those years before Cole!

The Cole Trunk Board has full length channel, 5 fin setup vs twin, different tail template, thinner foil and no beak nose.

Otherwise totally the same thing.
I only mentioned the channel, okay it goes further, and the outline. But yeah, reading is hard.

Here, enjoy some Plasmic like channels.

Mark Thomson would never make a board like the Plasmic! :LOL:

I will admit that the Firefly and Grasshopper look very similar to the original Sci-fi design (minus the QISC) hull.
I had a grasshopper before getting onto the Tomo craze and really enjoyed that board a lot! Long ago, one of the harbor guys (Steve) said it looked like a good board for me.
