Temavento got a new radical race board design. Flo Gruber loves it after his first days testing the board.It has got quite a few new and unique features. www.facebook.com/1002698236423036/photos/a.1134087099950815.1073741829.1002698236423036/1139761799383345/?type=1&theater

The radical part is the humps between the feet - which the above link pic is spectacularly bad at showing.

I'm not sure how they're better than just flat?

Quite likely to reduce the thickness of the board. When using a Tuttle box, the board will have to be roughly 7cm thick which is a lot...

Most foilers like to have a thinner board but like the convenience of the Tuttle (2 screws as opposed to 4 with the plate system). This look like a good compromise.

Personally I think the plate is a better option. Especially with a rail system on the board.
