"Three birds" wanting feedback, and sharing the stoke

The round nosed bird is set up at the 30" WB for free ride, slide. The bamboo one set up at 29" but with red green venom on the back and double dark orange reflex on the front. (i have swapped the bushing from front to back since the photo) Its for speed. but its only 9 inches wide with a really severe W concave, so not so good for pushing, but great to lock in. I am still playing with them. It only weighs 2000 grams the others are around 2450 grams.
The other one is for Voodoo.
Art work is still to come on the bottom.

The idea for the bird of prey comes from this bird, the best tuck on the planet.
Check out the video.

At about 16 seconds in you can see the shape of the bird in tuck and that is where the shape of the board and the little tip on the nose came from like the beak of a bird. They record its speed at 170 mph on that day and over 200mph later when the cameras are not there, thats over 300kph. does your head in if you think about it.
