Board arrived yesterday! Unlike the website image the 94L PW has a squared off tail and subtle wingers in the rail just behind the thruster fins. Come on spring winds!

Looks like a very sweet shape.
That said, I've found that Tabou's European style deck graphics are beyond bizarre and so unappealing. Also, I've always wondered why they bond the applique-type silver stars on the nose. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it's only skin deep. Makes you kind of wonder if Apple manufactured windsurfing boards and sails, what would they look like.

Couldn't agree more. Does anyone buy a board because of its graphics? Plain white or blue or any color would be fine with me as long as it performs well.

Back when the rage was Doyle's hollow boards, someone told me they couldn't get past its (great looking, IMO) sky blue color.
And while I agree that graphics don't matter, I must admit that the last new board I considered worth buying by my own personal criteria first caught my eye as hands down the greatest looking production board I have ever seen. I'd never have given it a second look otherwise. (When it also blew me away on the water, buying it was a no-brainer.)

I don't see any reason why a board that rides great, can't be great art
as well.

Sure, but you know what they say about art and its beholder. I consider many modern boards ugly. Ever look at that STUPID stuff that they strut down Paris runways, or at wristwatch ads, or platform shoes?
Then there are Crocs ... ugly as sin but as decadently comfortable as a warm paraffin bath.
