This is a refined version of Noah Shimabukuro's other Donald Takayama board that suits more of a competitive type of surfing. A true contest board with a wider nose that brings more stability with nose riding. The lower section to tail is pulled in & runs down to the square tail that gives this board its responsiveness for a more progressive approach. A little extra rocker in the nose & tail give this board the elements for a true high performance nose rider. This board really does work well in a variety of conditions & has been the board of choice for other surfing professionals. Jennifer Smith won the 2007 Women's World Longboarding Championship riding a Noah Comp board. Enough said.... Nose: 17 3/8" Mid: 22" Tail: 14" Thickness: 2 3/8" Volume: 57 Centre Fins: Tak 7" Side Fins: FCS GX GF
