What you think about Cole Trunk board?

It is pretty short, about 5", low entry rocker and with concave that runs full length from the nose. Is this concept useful for wakesurfing?

I read somewhere that this board was designed for folks in Japan, where physical space is at a premium. It was designed to fit in elevators, buses, the trunk of a small Japanese car and hence the name. It was also designed to have the same VOLUME as a 6'2" short board and so it is thick and wide:

Length: 5'0"
Tail Width: 16.1"
Center Width: 20.125"
Nose Width: 17.0"
Thickness: 2.5"

I've built shapes at similar dimensions and they wind up being corky for anyone under 260+ pounds. They scoot along really well, but sinking a rail to turn it feels like you're trying to force a battleship off course with your feet.

IMO, not a useful shape for our purposes behind the boat.

"It was designed to fit in elevators, buses, the trunk of a small Japanese car" thats funny

maybe they should use inflated ULI boards
