SIMA nominates non-surfboard as Surfboard of the Year
SIMA, the Surf Industry Manufacturers Association, is a shadowy organization of shadowy men in a dark room who seem to exert some sort of influence on the surf industry, even though nobody really knows why or how.
SIMA in their mighty wisdom have announced that they have nominated an inflatable stand up paddle board as the Surfboard of the Year. source 
Surfy Surfy rejects SIMA’s nomination and we declare that the handcrafted Brownfish Handplane is the real Surfboard of the Year.
Is the handplane a surfboard? More so than the SIMA rubber ducky raft we say!
So there!

December 30, 2010remember that SIMA exists to help their members make $$$, there is a great untapped source of $$$ in the SUP world—most of whom are generally clueless and therefore free with their $$$$ Besides aren’t the rest of those boards computer shapes touched only be scrapers not shapers?????

December 30, 2010WTF!!
Possible surfboard of the year is called a River Runner?!
I smell conspiracy!
Even if a lot of boards are being “programmed”… anything that needs a bike pump to be surf-able belongs in a pool or should just stay up river (though our oceans sure are looking chocolatey lately) 🙁
