If I win, I can get a scorpion surftech and give you my unvarnished opinion on how it rides!


Surftech and Hawaiian Pro Designs will ship Takayama Scorpion Surftech models this summer in 5'10, 6'4" and 6'8 sizes in single, twin, 2+1 and quad fin configurations. Yup the board is going to support all those fin setups. Now my Scorpion is a 9'0 and it is really a great board. I am excited to see how these Scorpion Surftechs sell, and am eager to try one out. I hope to try one this summer if I can get my friend Michael to take me to his uncle's shop where I am sure a loaner model will be. If they work good, and I can't imagine that they wouldn't, I'd like to get my hands on a 6'8" model, hopefully in yellow or red. We'll see. I can always get a traditional foam board planed on the computer and finished shaped, but I am really interested in the Surftech model, after all, its the surfer and not the board.



There is a certain stink regarding Surftechs in California, the so-called purists don't like them and call them garbage yada yada yada. There is one particular craigslist surfboard salesman who really doesn't like them. Screw those idiots. Its a surfboard, and I don't care what people think regarding what kind of board I ride. I personally have only ridden two, an In the Pink and an Al Merrick Water Hog. I've ridden the ITP surftech at overhead Blackies as well as super fun Diamond Head. I could care less about the water hog.
