I could care less who makes it or sells it - they need to be light, flat and straight. They should have handles that are easy to grab and lots of them. The straps should attach quickly and easily and be removed with one latex gloved hand. Lastly they should be easy to clean and resistant to carrying/containing bacteria. Oh yeah - the head immobilizers should be easy to attach to them, too.

HHHMMM - never seen a board like that. If you have, let me know.
