Thickness 3 1/8" to 3 5/16" Nose 19" Width 23 1/4" Square Tail 16" Tail Block 7 1/2" Stringer Two 1/4" Redwoods one inch apart Foam Density is Super Green Glassing 6x10oz Volan Deck,10oz Volan Bottom Rails are “pinched” 50/50 I love this board and will ride it in almost anything 23lbs --big ole single fin a beaut right out of 67 era – I love this ride, others who try it don’t like it much though 9’8" More “modern” Longboard light - rounded pin - single fin – really fun board – a bit too light and loose for me these days but I will take it out every so often – it is so beat up I am sorta just waiting for it to snap on me one day 7’6" Displacement Hull – wilderness/greenough inspired “s” deck little rocker ride it as a single-fin or 2+1 the fins are made of volan and totally flex get lots of drive from them meant to be ridden on front 1/3 and frontside as much as possible full rail turns are its trademark Classic fish – 5’10" prob the least ridden of my boards – def a specialty board for me – I take it out every so often and tool around on it – as different as you can get from my log-- it is very very very fast – makes drops you wouldn’t believe – haven’t really tested it in sizeable surf or in perfect surf – but do enjoy it. Modern Surf Mat – I like different rides – I want to check out what the surf mat is like – this guy makes George Greenough’s mats – he is a really nice guy and I figure what the hell, keep the mat in my van, maybe in my bag when i go to the beach on a summer day and have fun if I don’t feel like standing up. Paddleboard – 17’ – incredibly fast – plan on getting into a steady routine come May –
