Revisited design. I used to
cut down perfectly good
longboards to make these
things. Simply cut off the
nose and tail and reshape
middle piece. Use original
fin usually reshape it too.

Shaper comment:
These boards are fast
and fun. Plenty of float
and speed. A perfect fun
board for small mushy
days, but even better fun
in bigger cleaner waves.

look great, they surf great
and will give you years of
