Interesting new river board. I've seen many copycats of the BadFish multi-chamber boards, but this is taking things a step further. They put a thin layer of dropstitch on top of a 6" dropstitch center deck. The rails are thus higher, meaning that they only engage when needed. So the board is a bit faster on the flats, because it is not as wide. Of course, this also makes the board a bit less stable, until you really need it, and then the secondary stability should kick in. I still have to see if this really works well on the river, but at least it's a refreshing design :)

Cool. It takes the idea from the Combat and puts it with a more surfing-friendly overall concept. :-)
