What's you brand Mark?

"did you see the guy on that new board today, going MAD in the chop? Gybing like a MADman, at the pointy end of the field?! MAD he was so fast!"

Nice looking board
Understand your point of no photos before customer seeing it.
I remember the days of building boards and customers always dropping in to check out progress.

Good call olskool, not asking for flat edge across or on rocker line (understand design subtlety).
But a general photo of bottom contour and rail tuck.

Hmmmm, not letting the cat outta the bag are you?
