Annie surfs well!
I made one for my then 12yo son who is only about 32kg. It is 7' x 24" but not a round nose (so effectively shorter) plus it is only 60 litres max.
great to see your young bloke on a board that's suits his weight,we will end up with another young champ.
annie is 48kg and her normal board is 7'2"x26x3and a tad, no nose quad and 65ltrs,the board in the vid is rods prone fun board and she just tried it for a lark,we took it back to noosa and it works great on the points when its small.
that was the first time she has ever surfed a twinfin anything.she is going to try his 5'10"x25" twinny in October when we go back to coffs.
I also make a 6'10 x 26" x 70 ltrs for the heavier folk.
These boards love junky wind swell and are a great transition board down from your regular SUP board.
Plus the kids get to go SUP boarding on Dads 4.5kg epoxy "Maladjusted" twinfin surfboard.
Also my avatar pic is me surfing a 6'3 x 24" x 60 ltr board when I was a younger more agile lad at my fave spot
Annie surfs well!
Yes, and it is interesting to see her getting confidence wave after wave...
yes colas it was interesting to see that happen and after a few more surfs on it annie is starting to work it out,the 7'2" quad she picked up the same day weighs in at 4.8kg with fins and deckgrip.
here you go Smithy
8'2 x 29.5"x 115 square tail with Reactive Rocker and Squirt Tail
what do you weigh in at smitty,how do you find the flextail works?
G'day First Point
I weigh a good 100 kg and have no trouble paddling the 8'2 around bumpy Cabarita Pt.
The flex works good too.I find it turns tighter and gives some nice drive thru the turns
Smithy weighed in at 150kg's before he had a haircut now probably 120
Watching smithy at shoal bay titles on the first small day his board had surprising speed and momentum for a big guy riding it .
The board looked very interesting.
7-10 flextail This is my 7-10 flextail im 95kgs have riden it from 1-8ft smooth,choppy fat, sucky it loves it all.
Just for anyone that is interested,
Gregs board is 7'10"x 31.5" x 117 ltr, full gloss resin (traditional ) finish with deck, pad quad fins and Armour Rails 7.3kg.
According to current SUP design theory this wide a board does not surf very good.
You all should se Greg rip up the point surfing tight in the pocket.
I have half a wave on video but got rained out before I could get more waves.
I have flattened the rocker tail off a bit for more drive and speed.
Full round house cutties are easier now with the extra speed.
The Squirt Tail still lets you surf really tight in the pocket the same as my rocker tail designs.
A bit off subject, but it is still a small board.
