5'1 - ish

(photo: Maddie J.)

Trevor wanted to embark on a new project together a couple weeks back so we took a stab at something fun...T wanted to keep it super short and round, so we started with that and mashed 3 or 4 of my templates down into a 5'1" EPS/Epoxy nug that's got some seriously cool stuff going on.

The toe side is 21 1/2" wide and is a velosim template with a fully hulled out bottom and domed deck. The heel side is 19 3/4" and 2 1/2" thick, velosim deck and bottom shape, meshed into a narrowed velosim nose template and a t.rev tail section that sweeps across to the toe side, leaving a whooole lot of curve to carve off of (and sidebite). The center fin is cheated an inch to the toe side to spread the heel side fin cluster and move the fin closer to the inside to keep it from slipping on those most radical of sections.


Feedback is good, watching Trevor surf it is another thing...all kinds of ridiculous stuff. A full on hull bottom turn into a 360 snap off the lip is not getting boring to watch.

Looks pretty sweet. I don't know why more people don't experiment with asymmetrical shapes. I would like to play with one, and I wouldn't have to loan it out to my regular footed friends...
