i worked with my shaper on a new board. i have a small wave fish (5’10" x 20 1/4" x 2 3/8" quad) for small or mushy waves. now i’d like a performance board, but i’m not the 6’1" x 18 1/2" X 2 1/8" guy. i like to ride short and wide shortboards. i normally don’t surf more than overhead and not super hollow tubes. so i’m searching for a board that works, when the small wave fish is too fat. it should be easy to paddle and to get into the waves. i like the lost rocket, but i’d like a squashtail, so i think the lost squash-it is cool. http://www.lostenterprises.com/surfboards/details/squash-it
what do you think, is the board good for head high powerfull surf?
If you like 'em short and fat, well… that’s what you got. Looks like fun for head high and under. Reminds me of a Pod. If the surf is good, I’d like to see it a little leaner and meaner… pull in the width and nose, and move the wide point back.
i surfed a 5’11" x 19 1/4" x 2 5/16" (shortboard shape, with standard shortboard nose) before, with a small diamond tail, it was not bad, but i just surfed it in 5ft powerful waves, everything smaller and less powerfull was not perfect, because the tail did drown often.
i expect a fast board, easy to paddle, that still works when it’s powerfull (6 to 7ft)
