before this three day 4 metre swell came ( nearly 15’ , bigger on the bommies!) ,
I finally paddled THIS , the "cucumber "
( the surf was tiny , shallow , and offshore … so , I only bellyboarded it )
For its 5’5" x 22" x 2 1/2 " ( combined with my 59 yo 5’10 " , 70kg (155lbs) body ) , it paddled and ‘trimmed’ surprisingly WELL !
( I even got to duck dive one random wave , it definately went under easily ! yay)
I reckon it’s the lightest board I have made , despite the fin box , side plugs , and woofing great 10" (?!) fin
…to be continued , hopefully …
cheers !
