ugly duckling #3

 6' x 18 3/4 x 2 1/4 four channel twin plus trailer.

 Fins set back to balance the lower rocker.

 Cedar ply center stringer.

After seven sessions this is my favorite board for anything under double over head.

Fast and loose with plenty of grip and drive...

Six Foot Vomit Comet

 Down Rails Nose to Tail.

As tall as me.

Low kicked rocker. 

Heavy S glass on ultra light foam.

Surfed this vomiting valentine twice today as a quad.

Clean over head wedges and quick tubes this morning.

A+ magic session.  Barrels to carves to floaters to lay backs etc.

Fast and loose. Perfect rocker, volume, outline, foil...  

Pushing wind chop and rip current stairs this evening.

Lazy, I miss planted my stance a few times and felt the chaos.

Found a few gems that connected. 

 My new favorite board.

5'9 Favorite

5'9 x 13 3/4 x 19 3/4 x 15 3/4 x 2

Five fin boxes set back to add hold to a loose relaxed rocker.

Down thin sensitive rails knows to tale.

Deep single concave until the fin cluster crescent convex moon release.

I sit deep on this board up to my chest.

Easy rocker paddles fast.

Extra "S" glass density duck dives perfect through heavy beach brakes.

I named her the Hershy Squirt and asked James Mitchell to acid splash diarrhea on brown.

Now she is my favorite board.  

Especially with larger fins to tame her wild ass. 

So much pun!

4'6" modern mini soft board created by Catch Surf.  Amazing in shore break under head high.  

Infinite glide vs. zero drive. Every ride is a knows ride.

5'6 Derringer

Stepped the rail to add volume and only allow the nose and tail to flex.  Parrabolic thruster. Single concave fading out the last inch.  Wide point forward. 5'6 1/3 x 19 3/4 light foam with a cedar ply stringer.  Love vs. Hate.  The board floats well but still paddles like a 5'6.  The narrow tail turns insane in the pocket but drags through the flats.  The middle rocker is too flat for how deep and wild this board wants to ride.  Still its a rocket and a wonderful toy.  I might shape the next one with a wider tail and a smoother deeper rocker. Maybe skip the step deck and shape thick round tucked rails.
