I emailed product info at slingshot and they have not shot any video of the hooke yet. The guy in that video is riding the newton. A little misleading but hard to catch.

The hooke and the newton are all very similar as far as core, stiffness and such. The boards are dissimilar by tip shape, bottom channel slight difference and other small shape difference.

Have you thought about the Reflex? its awesome behind the boat and on the park. Plus it has the grind base.

the core is actually a little different in the newton (continuous) than the hooke (3 stage) and kine (subtle 3 stage) besides the outline shape and channels.

the stringers are layed up differently. notice the darker strands. the newton has them closer to the edge and the hooke and kine (not pictured) have them close to the middle.
if i remember correctly, the stringers positions help accentuate the boards' characteristics based on rocker type. the stringers placed near the edge on the newton should help it to maintain a stronger and faster edge as continuous rockers are known for. the stringers placed more in the middle on the other two accentuate the pop more, as 3 stage boards are known for.


*disclaimer* I have not had a chance to ride any of the 2011 gear
