Looks pretty fun. Whoever was trunking it early in the video with the spray on the deck was my favorite.
i definitely want something like that but not gonna pay 13hun for one
I read a comment somewhere ... can't remember where .... that one of the biggest adjustments with this design concept is with the deep concaves down the middle of the board .. all of the foam is pushed out to the rails making them bigger than what you may generally be accustomed to and it may take a while getting used to. But as mentioned earlier in this thread and from the video ... it looks like the concaves are not as aggressive as they appear in the photos .... pics can be deceiving sometimes.
I'll take my 6'6" tri plane into channel bottom twin for the win over those over-priced single fins. The tri plane doesn't show up due to the light and the flax bottom but it's there. Rails aren't bulky either.

Nice .... yeah i love my 6'10" channel bottom single .... has a single concave through the middle. Have not ridden a tri-plane ... would be interesting to feel the difference.
Great surging. However, I can't escape the impression that I just watched surfers do hi-pro longboaring, without actually riding a longboar.
Local shaper (Hughies surfboards). Specialises in paulownia and cork builds that are mostly un-glassed. I've got 3 tri plane bottom boards from him and a flax Mini-Simmons tri plane from another shaper. The speed and lively feel under the front foot is their appeal for me.
All mine are twins (bar one quad) and have the tri plane further forward (traditional placement developed by Michael Cundith with his Stubby's) so different to the CI with just a single and its placement rearward which I assume is to make the single fin board spicier.

The more footage I see of the tri-plane one, the more of an argument I think it makes for the standard vee bottom 2 + 1. Just so much smoother coming out of turns.
Also Mikey, please stop with the karate kick, it's the single worst aspect of your otherwise amazing surfing by a large margin.
