lol, my bad. The nose.. there is a difference. And it doesn't matter which way you are riding, unless going switch.. just like skating and snowbaording. The graphics point one way, and on some boards, one side will have more pop that the other. The water.. i made half of it. I got the arctic water shader, and changed it a bit. The bit difference is mental ray, as you can see the difference between the regular and mental ray renders.
