SurfWatch can now reveal that a new wing surfboard is presently under wraps and is expected to be brought to market during the coming few weeks. It seems that co-owner of Reaction Radical Twang himself has been burning the midnight oil modeling the new board shape, which will have a swallowtail, a single winglet towards the end of each rail and two new graduated sculpty fins on each side. Wing-shaped boards and a quad fin system are typically used to provide exceptional maneuverability, equally useful for difficult conditions or to crank off radical carves and turns. The combination of the wing shape and quad fin works to decrease drag on the underside of the board and increase the efficiency of the fins. SurfWatch understands that the board's scripts are currently being tweaked for faster, nimbler turning, as is the shape and weight of the board for the same reason.
Reaction is apparently working on a completely new shape, which is likely to compare in length to Big Dawg's shortboard, or perhaps a little shorter. The new Reaction wing may well turn out to be the quickest, most responsive board in Second Life when its finished, although we'll have to wait a few weeks to find out.

Hi. I enjoyed your blog. It is really interesting.
I wonder how this will look ingame. In a 3D modeling program all looks awsome detailed. Show us a SL-pic....please!
shakespeare --> glad you like it!
schrott --> I'd love to share other pics, but this is the only one I could get my hands on. I wish I had more for you!
