Interesting board.. I'm curious about the upturned tips. What function do they serve?

these are called fliptips - they were used a lot in past when boards were longer. They serve to avoid catching waves. There is step before fliptip to release water so they are not part of planing surface or rocker line. Board is virtualy without them.

:thumb: Ah, ok, that makes sense.
So the board is flattened out to optimise efficiency, so you need the fliptips to avoid nosediving :o in chop.
Cool.

Sorry, digging up an old post, but does anyone know if the Transformer board (or the DIY kit) is still available?

Thanks!
