looks like an LF armada, so gay

its not an armada shape... has kind of doyle concave, and kicktails like a legacy, but not as exaggerated... its actually a prettty sick board... the proto i rode had way to serious of a rocker so it was pretty slow, but it should be mellowed out a little bit on the production

Cenflskate had one at my house. Its composite and his was a 43". Its was heavy as d!cks and the concave looked super extreme. I hope they fix that shizzle because it did not look fun to ride at all. Justin shredded it tho. Kid can shred a brick tho.

someone needs to make molded side fins, real small ones, that would be super rad

So this is the Obrien prototype. Looks a bit wide, but I'm sure it's nice.

I'm working with someone so we'll have a write up on it soon (hopefully monday). And just so you know, a respectable, long time wakeskater did aid in the design of that board. So it's not like some waterskier threw that design together or anything (as an example).

Is there really a need for it to be this thick?
