some pics
but camera broke down after some shots...so you have to do it with these
carbon rails, bamboo deck
boards sizes. 100(lightwind play in the wave's), 85 and 75 liter
sandwich/ double under feet --done by Quatro -neighbour of sean
they did also the antislip+pads
// Raw eps foam came from Nelson, so it's The Haiku Pauwely Cannery Combo
shape+ glassing/bamboo-ing(resin art) by Sean (optimized strenght /weight/flex)
new version of the fish board: The Guppy
the "sailboard" edition of his surfboards.
Why no 2,3 or 4 fin? Well it is allready so loose and snappy in the pocket of the wave, so I just didn't need it.
You sail these boards with small fins. rails and shape (+rider)do the rest

Pierre, give me 2 weeks... and I'll be at your doorstep
@ tiki
The boards are all tailormade-- I gave loads of info what i wanted/searched for.. but also what board I was riding (easy cause i know all the sos boards)
But Sean also came in with his ideas/visons. And as he is a master in shaping I give him the full freedom
The boards are based on all the high performance surfboards he makes nowadays
The boards are like the fishes but with a bit of classic inside. Fast, loose and super direct.
@ anowan.
as for the prices
I'm not totally sure, but I thought Sean charges for his "normal construction" custom sailboards: 1800 USD = 1350 euro
A custom Bamboo/carbon construction: 2400 USD = 1800 euro
so if you compare that to the stock factory boards.......
* The boards are not the easy take out of the rack factory boards, so to get one, you need a longer traject.... but that give's it all the magic/joy.
At least a great excuse to go to maui

Mat, There are so many ways to use "wood+bamboo" in surfboards. Most are just optical paper thin veneer. If you use some materials in the right way, you can ad some livity/flex/pop in your board
Sean showed me how strong the "orange/bamboo" longboard was. He turned deck down, and jumped on the bottum and started jumping on it with his full body weight. it kept on flexing without a crack. Than he jumped off, and the board bounced some times up. So it keeps on flexing
I was really amazed. Those carbon/bamboo surfboards are also shaped way thinner than normal ones, due to their pop/flex
