The Crane



Evan's newest longboard that we're calling the "Crane" model.  A modern pig of sorts...  Widepoint pushed back behind center gives the tail some nice hips.  The increased curve through the tail allows for better maneuverability from the tail, and can sit better in the sweet spot of the wave setting up killer noserides.  Modern teardrop concave and a bit of tail kick rounds this board into a smooth rider.  It's interesting to note that the modern shortboard took design concepts directly from the old school pig for these same reasons (minus the noseriding capabilities, of course).  This is what all the cool kids are riding.
