New 5ft4 diamond-swallow-wing blur in the making

How short is too short?

I have been surfing on a 5ft3 x 20 x 2.5 for the last 8 months and loving it.

I then tried a 5ft7 and it just didn’t work for me.  I am 6ft1/2 and 77kg and come from a skating background.  I think that is why i like the shorter, stubbier, skatier feel of the shorter boards.

So here is a pic of the tail.

 

The board is glassed and I had to make the fins.  What a mission, next time you pay R400 for fins, smile you just got a bargain.

 

I got the board and surfed it in 3ft Ysterfontein and I am loving it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8ft SUP off to the glasser

SUP 8ft bottom

Halo blob fins:

The most amazing fin to surf with.

Great hold and drive. Takes you to the next level via the escalator and not the stairs.

Surf faster, quicker and better than you can.

Simmons 5ft4 – the fastest design known to (surf)man.
