Very nice glassing, as usual. Shape looks quite good for me (ex custom bodyboard builder), but believe me: fins are not necessary if rail edges are squared enough.
My first bodyboard was a PU/PE also, made by me. It was fast lke hell, but riding PU/PE on my chest is a pain in the...chest. I still have it at home. Do you want a pic??

pointy bit in the middle of the bat-tail. Might be a bit uncomfy for a prone rider :D
Apart from that, looks like a great board! Ik have one in the same style (the Body Reptile in the resources) and it FLIES!

That pointy tail is a real tummy puncher for the prone/drop knee riders. Some serious softening and rounding of those pointy edges will not affect performance, at least on the center point.
On my fish paipo I swapped out the included fins for some Pro Tec Power Flex Fins(not shown here)

These fins work very nicely AND do not impale.
