Stubby kind of fellow

Paul, the owner of this board that I made for him some time ago, just sent me a few shots of his latest session with it. Thought you might like them.

The board is a 5’6" diamond-tail with a quad + FU fin-box. Ridden here as a quad.

thanks billy !

and now …

a shot of the fins, s’il vous plait ??

salut !

Ben, I think it’s those:

Not quite sure, though, as I have done quite a few like this in the past two months or so…

stubbies are tons of fun… as is a stubbie with that fin setup! Im riding a similar setup with slightly smaller trailers a little further back on a really wide rounded tail. Took a little gettin used to but its doin me well.

Nice lookin board!

Thanks Durbs! I made this one some two/three months ago and it seems like everybody wants one now… Surprisingly enough, I am much more accustomed to shaping longboards than under 6’ toys… Oh, well…

thanks billy

i had a similar one a few years back

it however was a twinnie with deep vee from nose to tail , 5’7 x 20 and i found it tricky to ride

a mate had a similar size and shape , but as a glassed-on single keel [a pat morgan '70s board] he too made the comment of it being difficult to ride

a single fin box [with a narrower tail] would be fun , in around the 6’-6’4 range for me , i reckon ?

cheers for the photos billy , and keep sharing the stoke !!
