It seems that everytime I look at a new surfboard by Josh Oldenburg (whether it be a fish, longboard, or a yet to be named model) I'm thrown into a theoretical inquiry about board design. The last one was about scooped tail on a longboard. And here it's about pinched wings.

If you look carefully, you'll notice that this board doesn't have wings proper, but slightly pinched wings. In principle, wings are supposed to boost maneruverability while still allowing the board to have more volume higher up for bouyancy, stability and faster paddle.

In light of that, how do you think the pinched wings affect that equation? Here again, Josh Oldenburg has thrown a curve ball and I'm not quite sure I can catch it. But perhaps, just like before, there will be riders and shapers coming around the corner, avowing for its effectivness in boosting performance and the thrill of the ride. I'm befuddled, so I turn it to you. Thoughts?
