It's not a hoax. I've heard about it for a month now. I've talked with Jeff, and my dad talks with Jeff on a regular basis. I can assure you that it's not a hoax.

Hmm, my carbon hull is 10 years old now, and the aluminum parts show no signs of decay (not even the aluminum bulkhead). Lucky, I guess.
i have one of these hulls on order. along with a 927 BB
as fare as price goes, i don't know what the final bill will be but i guarantee it will be worth every penny.
so as of now i can not speak as to what the new hull will retail for.
i stop by Jeff's shop ounce in a while. and when i told him i was going to buy another manufacturers hull he asked who's? so i told him. He was honest with his input and i respect that. He suggested i buy an envy and move the pole mount forward and shorten the hull if thats what i wanted. about a week later i stopped by the shop and he was in the process of making a plug for a new hull. at first glance the ski looks like an envy on a diet (not as tall or long). the pole mount has been moved forward about 8" (I'm guessing). the nose section is quite different from an envy.
from the front of the hood seal area back is basically the same, with slight changes to the tray area and style lines. the bottom deck is an envy with the pump mounting area changed to better accommodate the yami 144 pump.
the hood has been lowered about 2-3" (I'm guessing)
the front of the bottom deck has an added feature to help keep the nose up when ridding surf and on approach of setup wake.
from what i saw today the plugs have about a days work left before he can start on the molds.
the mold for the bottom deck is finished
so to sum it up it should ride like a light weight envy with an added features for both surf and flat water freestyle.
the handle pole will be much closer to the front of the ski thus allowing better leverage and control of the hull.
from what i have seen Jeff is getting this new hull project done in a remarkable amount of time no doubt working late to get this new product out for the public.
when he does officially release the new hull i suspect it will really show Jeff's talent and prove ounce again that WDK makes some of the best products available.

Quoted for the history.
To all the haters: yes, carbon can and will eat your aluminum.
It will also rape your sister and kill your dog. :shocked:

So it's going to be just like the Lenzi and Nickwad hulls? That's what it sounds like to me.

No......far from it actually. SXR based but this will be the best all around hull out there. He pretty much trimmed the fat off a ENVY, gave it pole adjustably, lower profile and some other nice touches I won't get into.
This hull will do everything. Recessed handlepole and wide hood for hood tricks, low profile for excellent rotation, pole bracket can be moved forward for additional leverage and control, shorter over all length removes excess and weight while also helping with backflips. SXR hood seal for added hood strength/stability, SXR pump tunnel for greater efficiency ......but you can bolt in a yamaha 144mm pump or the sxr set up.
It is right in-between a q8/lenzi hull and a Rickter as far as length. He has listened to allot of feedback from riders around the world as well as his own likes/dislikes from his years of experience. I have seen this hull and there really is not a bad angle on it. As far as looks, it is the nicest ski I have seen. I know the performance will be spot on as well b/c the bottom is already a proven design.

im kinda stoked. i rode an envy a few weeks ago and really liked. this might be better... plus his hulls are pretty reasonably priced. bob is deff out of the question for me. i just cant see that hull doing well in the surf at all for the average rider...
