If there's one thing most FW riders don't have but need it's a board like Kelly Slater rides at good sized Pipe.
So true

That’s one of the things I thought. Hawaii shapers get pigeon holed into good wave, gun shapers. When in reality the majority of boards Hawaii shapers design and built are short boards or other small wave boards.If there's one thing most FW riders don't have but need it's a board like Kelly Slater rides at good sized Pipe.
These boards are being sold in CA shopsI looked on IG they haven’t debut this board. Maybe Ezra jumped the gun. I’m going to delete my posts.
For years I would order a board or two for winter and I would ask Wade if he has any new designs for the NS. Or if he did anything to the 4. He would tell me no. Just little refinements and we would adjust my dimensions from my last winter boards.Also, everybody knows what works best in good waves, so the good wave models don't need much refinement or progression (e.g. Sunny winning 6 TC's on the same board). So Hawaii shapers have those dialed and spend most of their time tweaking small wave or HP shortboards.
My Photochop comment was in humor .Seems legit and not Photoshopped if Tokoro did an IG himself. I could me missing something that the surf bro's know.

Heard they land stateside for $150, quite the margin on these Thai sticks.I've never considered owning a Firewire and rarely go to surf shops. How much do boards like these cost?

nah brahkiller barrel hunter shape looks more refined. although not sure how long it will last in this type of construction, this will pop at a drop of a hat.
but- it has a pointy nose...I like the outline. Might be a good board for blacks? Would be fun to see it tested on the Reefs! Maybe Tristan will get his hands on one.
Im not saying I'd ride it! haha.but- it has a pointy nose...
