Rusty surf board "the toad"

[greg@hoodatsurfco]

I am considering picking one of these up.

Supposed to be good for slop and even better for decent/good days.

One ugly looking board. It looks like a good good for those mushy days

Looks good to me, I'd get one. The only thing is I wouldn't know what size to get - do you get a big one for maxing out on really rubbish waves or do you go a bit smaller for performance when it picks up .

It looks like that "biscuit" that Rob Machado rides. It's a mini-funshape board.

How much?

[tomcat360]

Definitely get it!

Love that board, 6`6 would be good all round board for me. As most days are shite mushy with broken surf, be much better than the bic mal, lighter and better allround. Cool board.

The site says to get it 4-6 inches shorter than your normal surf board.
I am guessing it would be good to contact them with my weight and height and see what they think. I want a fun board for mushy days without having to pack up a longboard. Also it looks like it would be pretty loose by looking at that tail.

The reason the advise to go that much shorter then you standard board is due to how wide the shape is. I actually used that board as the inspiration for the next board I am shaping. going to do a larger one (6'6") for my girlfriend and if I like it make a smaller one for myself.

Makes sense.
