7’0” Alex Knost BMT Swallowtail surfgear

7’0” Alex Knost BMT Swallowtail surfgearBetween recording albums, touring, going on surf trips, and running the Costa Mesa Conceptual Art Center, Costa Mesa's Alex Knost manages to squeeze in some time to shape some select sleds. New from BMT, this sled is something totally different than what weve been seeing from Al recently. The outline is on the wider side with a tight, pulled in nose cruising down into a narrow swallowtail. The rocker is minimal with just a bit of flip in the nose and

and a flatter rocker profile out the tail

We love seeing these different iterations of the bonzer and how much Al has pushed the design in respect to the Campbell Brothers

The bottom is comprised of a single concave entry that blends into a nice double concave through the fins
