Baxter wins over in Brasil, the board he uses looks like a different design from current models as there is no recessed deck.....possible 2014 model??

Looks fairly similar to last year's BOP board but with this years graphics.

I could be wrong though, it has happened before.

Connor rode a similar looking board in the Patagonia Chile race. I suspect he prefers a flat deck to the sunken decks, and as surf4fun suggests, this looks a little bit back-to-the-future and the 2012 Race BOP.

Is that a speed puck to pace himself?

Looks like the same board or very similar to what he paddled at BOP last year (which also had the 2013 graphics).
That board was similar shape to the BOP, but 25" wide and 1" thicker.
Brian had a couple of similar protos/customs he was working on when I got my board fixed at his factory after some damage on the plane.

Too small for a speed puck. Cold be a GPS tracking device used by the judges??

Here's another shot. It does look to have more volume in the nose than a Race BOP.

The old BOP had a fair bit of rocker in it.

Yeah the more you compare them, the more this looks like just a narrow Race BOP.
