2010 Obscura ?'s

So, the new Hampson SST 2010 (Obscura) looks sick as hell. I found only one pic online, after seeing Hampson's spread in the latest Wakeboarding mag. Now, if I am looking at this pic correctly, it appears that this board may be shorter than 42, which would be awesome. Can anyone confirm or deny my suspicions?

I think it´s a A-sym. I´dont like A-syms, whats the point with having one tip bigger than the other? But the graphics look sick. Smash

its just like the old 40.5 with hampsons graphics. Obscuras more of a graphics series but id love to see them branch off from liquid

So, wasn't the 40.5 symmetrical, not asymmetrical?

yes. 40.5 is the way to go

I rode the new hampson, and it felt about the same as the old one. Its weight makes the little size difference irrelevant to me, but I don't ride an sst type board so Im probably a bad critic

Definately considering switching to a Obscura concave. Anyone know what lengths they will be in. I'm guessing 41 Hampson and 42 Reed.

the concaves are badass, Im not a big fan of wood boards, but I dig em. they are alot bigger( more plys) than most wood concaves, and they are pretty heavy. It responds kinda slow like a Bi-level( Idk y, thats just the impression it gave me), but it has so much pop. for example: I dont know if everyone that is reading this has been to tsr, but stefan was on the cable riding behind me and he poped a frontside 180 over the booter> not off of it, but over the sumbitch. I would also say it is very consistent....all around badass board.

The Concaves are 40.5 and 42 asymmetrical.
