That's a serious stringer. Any other dimensions?

Did you buy it?

Beside the obvious 'need for speed' what were your criteria in designing this beauty?

Last all Pete, just speed!

Sultans of Speed - good work. When I was surfing Sultans in the Maldives, that's all I was saying to myself... Sultans of Speed!

Sounds good bro...lets us know when your back...are you picking up a new Brewer while your over there?

A hand shape by Bob.

at is really beautiful. Would a board like that be better/more versatile than buying a longboard? Just interested as I would like something for smaller days. Ty

A hand shape by Bob.

Interesting shape, looks heaps shorter than 9'0 coz of the lack of straight edge I guess...Looks nice

Sweet. Looks a bit narrower (compared to earlier versions) at the wide point front of center?
I like that, seems like a cleaner shape that might release a bit easier when coming down off a high line

Looks like a tracker

Yeah Mac, you're right on the mark actually. Yes, it does look like a Tracker. (Capital T please! - just kidding)
It's kind of like a blend between a Tracker, a Gun (G2 Gun my McT), and my Occasional Pin, with some EvoII flavouring (Side biters).

Basically I asked for a Speed Shape Semi-Gun perhaps dosed up slightly with more gun (G2), with modern rails. Following the basics from his recent Speed Shapes.

Bob said he would move the wide point back an inch, but not to the middle (like the G2)... The Speed Shapes are technically a Tracker Gun, sporting the softer traditional Tracker rails, from the late 60's. So mine sort of has the Tracker Template, but slightly more 'gun', but with harder / sharper rails out the back (more modern rails)... Plus side biters... I though hard about a Single Fin, but Bob hinted that the side biters will add a bit of extra zing... But you can ride it as a single anyway...

But I acknowledge that Blank Side Biters detract from a true single...

Good work Ted! I haven't ridden a Tracker actually.

Gee that blue board (above) looks sexy!
