Well, this was the next logical step: the ultimate in compactness, and the the reduced length (8') helps the rigidity.
Of course the rear concave isn't there, nor the camel deck, but looks like a fun sled!

I prefer a flexible ass
Nice looking board , Beersup is it a custom? ,currently I'm riding a naish Hokua and it goes good ,no complaints ,but what I don't like is paddling out and see 3 other guys in the line up with exactly the same board.
My next board will be a custom for sure .
Yep 7'10 flextail custom surfshapes by Rod Hocker .once you surf a custom, pop outs just don't cut it any more pick up my 7'6 this week can't wait.

when is Gong going to shake up our market and get some retailers in Oz?
I think Gong barely enough manages to sustain the French demand (board production is still mostly a manual job, good chinese shapers & glassers are a scarse resource), so they do not actively seek distributors abroad... but would be Oz distributors may feel free to contact them.
I don't know the australian market though, and the viability of an internet-only SUP seller there.
