best blank for mini-simmons

hey guys,

 

about to shape a 5’0" mini simmons and just wanted to know your opinion on the best blank for this board.

i don’t really want to use a kneeboard blank… what do you guys use?

 

i was thinking the US Blanks 6’8"RP Fish blank…

A fish blank is probably a good choice.  Other things will work well too;  Such as an old snapped longboard, a slice or chunk of foam off a flotation dock from a local harbor.
