yeah, that would be right about Pancho! he is a big bloke. What I find rather amusing is that two of the best shapes I have ever owned are the Pancho Sullivan and Phil “Macca” McDonald pro models, but my physique bears no resemblance to theirs and my surfing even less resemblance! Macca is no longer on the ASP tour, but his profile on their described him as one of the great power surfers.

 the Pancho board is quite versatile in a wide range of wave sizes, here is a pic of me at my favourite small wave spot - years ago this place used to confound me - looked like it was going to close out, but didn’t and speed is needed to make some sections. but I’ve got it wired now. With front foot drive I can get the Pancho board to go fast even in mush. I think the thick tail rail is helping me in the mush like this, but I’m not sure of that - I have the potential to find out with future builds of the MJE II

that would be great, here is the link to the audio file which I played straight out my puter with speakers. I repeated the test several times on each board as it can sometimes be hard to tell which is the resonant frequency. It seems every surfer has to standardise their own span between the supports - the suggested start is 4’. also placing the rear support a consistent distance relative to the fins is suggested by BT

nice waves in Portugal :slight_smile:

Um, for some reason I thought you were 150lb, so my rail suggestion was a size out at least and just a guess. Anyway, it is all personal preference and whatever puts a smile on your face.

A tad seems more like a couple of percent.
