Board to be copied: Con Rail Model by Robert Strickland and Skip Savage: a wide board especially designed for nose-rides. Flat bottom nose, with a unique deck rail design which increases from a slightly concave to a wide concave in the tail, making the rail thinner for bite and also channels water across it.

A Very Special Thank You:

All great things spring from great people. Thank you to Scott Bass, Event Creator and Organizer of the SACRED CRAFT Consumer Surfboard Expo who recognized the disconnect of shapers from the surfing community and Chris Christenson, brain trust and craftsman of the “Tribute to the Masters Shape-off” competition. These guys are bringing it back home: to the surfboard and the guys and gals who make them so that the rest of us can enjoy the ride.
