Winter High Performance Fish -MHL

Using the actual benefits of  computer generated surfboards, my summer fish suffered a metamorphosis, ending in a new high performance fish. Cloning mutation now is a reality. Nose, width and tail with half inch less. Two extra inches of height, round pin tail and more rocker to hold more juice. Same bottom, single to deep double concaves ending in vee after trailer fins. This board have five fin future boxes to decrease the boring factor.
The architects of this wave riding machine are again the superb MHL company in Puerto Rico. Nick Leason behind computer designs and master craftman Greg Jaudon. Will post test drive report. Enjoy the ride!

A New Sliding Machine in Progress

After my last mind proyect executed by Greg Jaudon and Nick Leason from MHL which ended in a magic quad fish, next proyect was obvious. Adding 2 inches of length , narrowing tail and nose, more rocker, round tail for more hold will increase range in ocean conditions. After been more exposed to computer designs, technology is the Holy Grail. Now I have an ideal volume (33.7 L) defined and flotation will never be an issue. Rocker also can be varied with matematical definition. Remember that the shaper fine tune makes the difference. The best of 2 worlds. EPS/Epoxy combination for known longevity, lightness and enviromental benefits. Blue rails, black pin lines, 5 fin boxes and superb glassing this week. Enjoy the ride!
