Has to be a Raglan Surf Report on that, suspect an average surfer would struggle on that board.

Udo. Hi mate.
Thank you.
Pretty much spot on with what he said, especially the explanation of the underside of the board.
There’s complete control and instant fin grip upon take off, easy to paddle, slightly thicker than what I’d normally ride , so it has the volume you need to catch waves more easily.
Mine and the one he demonstrated definitely has that no rocker flat forward area up the nose end.
Compared to all the different boards I ride, the MOTE is only a tiny bit harder to duck dive.
I’ve got a Arakawa 6’6” single flyer Mysto, rounded pin, twinny, totally enjoyed that last Saturday, bit of size around and taking off on the set waves was like, the fins immediately engaged, makes for quick pumps and high line the wave to set up speed, I bloody well loved it.
Saying all that, I’ve shitloads of quads, still my favourite boards.
But these new/old style twin fins are so much fun, you can do longer sessions because it’s so easy to catch waves. AW
Edit: I’m always interested in design (my training in Landscape architecture) , in that video, I loved that style of pattern in that plywood on the floor. I think my converted shipping may have that fine affair.
First thought was that I didn’t realise there is a big difference between carbon cloths and how they affect the way a board rides.
Second thought was, is Gina Reinhardt Jasons mum?
Love that Twin Fin Rodeo!
Great vibe, and a beautiful little surf community in the unlikeliest of places. Shits all over No Salad's reviews etc.
Always liked the look of NC Outer Banks surf community, and now I'll add Charleston to places I wouldn't mind visiting.

No vids yet but Gregory W is making some incredible boards, adapting the old Baked Bean planshape with a modern S2D concave, though with slight tip of the hat to Herring's vee out through the tail.
