I saw Tom Curren surf a board that was like 4'11. It looked like an egg shape. Pretty crazy, that man could ride anything...And make it look good.

I've seen a Local Motion board that was about 5 foot and shaped like a fish. Amazing how people ride them. :o

I shaped a board for fun that was 4'3x22x3.75 and it was surfable, more float than a shorty, but it snapped because I went stringerless on it.

it was imposible to duckdive though
