The Lip Reader is Nick Gornall and Stealth Bodyboards newest collaboration.
So, why the Lip Reader? Well aside from Gornall's obsession with the lipstick dance, he's also pretty handy above, on, or behind the lip when he's in the water. As the name suggests, the Lip Reader should give you a little extra foresight whether you're looking to boost big airs or tuck into some slabbing barrels.
This board uses the same template as Nicks' previous Bearded Lady Model.
Aside from the obvious Logo and colour changes, the main addition to the Lip Reader is the "Hand to Hip" deck contours. We've kept the hand contours along the nose and rails, but added a Hip Groove contour through the tail. This provides a little extra comfort and helps to lock your hips into place.
Removing a small bit of volume from the tail, also creates a bit of a "flex tail" effect. This helps generate propulsion, drive and acceleration out of turns (or just your bottom turn). As tail is allowed to bend a touch more than usual, this energy is stored and released in a bit of a slingshot effect.
The Kinetic core is what Nick usually rides when home on the Goldy through summer, or globetrotting to exotic tropical locations. The Kinetic core is the ultimate option for durability and speed.
Nick Rides this board in 41.5" and is 5'10 & 70 kgs

Hi, Stealth I would love a small black army bicep leash. The for summer.
Kind regards,
Leigh Coombs.
I've had a few outings on my new silencer board. Sometimes a head high dumpy close-out, sometimes a fast peeling waist-chest high. It's fast enough for the latter, and tough enough for heavy landings with the former. I've been bodyboarding for over 10 years, but still time is required to click with a new board. So i expect to have plenty of fun with each "click".
I reckon that if you're beyond entry level, and want to try a different template or size, but don't want to spend a fortune, then this affordable board is well worth a shot ... and who knows it could become your favourite!
Thanks Stealth, nice board, nice service, and tomorrow the forecast looks good for my local break :)
Estoy muy contento con este increible bugy, soy de las Islas Canarias y lo mas sorprendente es el poco peso, el manejo tanto en olas grandes como pequeñas es fantastico(si es verdad que funciona meor en olas pequeñas/medianas), ya sea por el Tourus Channel o el VAX TRAX RAILS, las bajadas muy pronunciadas las dominas muy bien y el control es excelente, por ahora es el mejor bugy de esta marca que he probado. Recomendado!
