There's really not too much swell around here but due to an artificial sandbar built for a fancy condo there is ankle up semi clean break and some days its knee to waist! Right outside my building!!
I was looking for a year round board that could also be fun in the 1 or 2 larger days during hurricane season. But also easy to maneuver in and out of the apartment building or into the car for a road trip.
We decided on a what Carlos called a Mini Longboard.
Size: 8'0" Width: 22" Thickness: 2.75"
Glassing: Epoxy (my first everything has been poly)
Solid: 6x6oz. Deck x 6oz. bottom)
Tailshape: Baby round squash
Round noise
width is 18" after the nose 22" in the center and 13.75" before the tail.[url][/url]
I'm about 5'10" and 145lbs
Its pretty flat and I'll be able to walk on it but still has some good angles for speed and water displacement
Skeg setup: 6.5" Rainbow TK Flex in Longbox w/ 2 fcs sidebites (undecided on fins yet).
Thanks to Carlos @ C-shapes for the great idea. Anyone in the S. Florida area should definitely check him out. website: http://www.cshapes.com.
Still debating on what to do as far as graphics or visuals on the board. Leaning toward piping along the rails and bottom with a green/light blue and brown resin tint swirl. Let me know if you have any suggestions. I dont want anything tacky.
Thanks for looking let me know what you think!
