"I have a couple of guys that are riding 5’2” versions of this board. It has a 17” nose and is 21 wide and a 16 1/2 tail. It has a quad set up with a bonzer like double concave between the inside fins. I designed this board in response to the mini sims. I could not bring myself to shape such square stuff so that is why I rounded out the tail. The first board had a wider rounder nose but we thought this made the board a little less responsive. These boards now turn off the bottom and the top really well and you can surf them standing up without having to crouch down and hold the rail like so many of the square wide boards that I see so much. I was amazed that they held an edge so well. I think they should be ridden 4 to 8” shorter than a fish.”

Full outline, big tail, tuned and foiled rails, low rocker with just enough kick in the nose, bonzer concaves with a quad setup.
Super fun board but I want to try other boards.
Only imperfections are a tiny crack on the nose that was repaired + I dinged the bottom of the deck right after taking pictures so it's currently getting professionally repaired. The ding is quite small (1 inch) but the price is with this in mind. Open to trades!
Can meet in Santa Cruz, San Jose, or San Francisco
