performance midlength


I finished this board a couple of weeks ago; its a slim-line type of midlength board.
 Dimensions are 6'10 x 21 x 2.25, with a rocker profile almost similiar to a noserider (low nose and big tail kick).

I created it for myself, after getting a lot of inspiration from these 2 boards from Canvas, and aiming to make something between the 2.



After riding wide-tailed, twin fin mini simmons for the last 12 months it was great to actually have some control through turns, and lay into bottom turns with confidence knowing the fins will hold!

Although not initially as fast as the mini simmons, with any wave over 1ft and a little face to work with board quickly picks up pace.

The board functions great but I've decided to sell it now as for me it is just slightly inbetween preferred lengths; it lacks the effortless glide of a longer board, but is also just a bit too long to quickly launch into waves with momentum.

Its currently in watershed shop, Newquay, I'll accept anything over £220
