5’11” x 18 1/4” x 2 1/4” regular footed asymmetric twisted rocker quad shaped in stringerless eps foam. My intention is to create a pocket of air under the front foot when the board gains speed and lifts onto plane. This is in an effort to not only reduce drag, but to try and keep the board planing on those flat panels towards the rails. The back half of the board is symmetrical as far as the outline and fin placements, but the rail shape and bottom shape differ from side to side. The toe side has a thinner, and less tucked rail with a lower apex compared to the heel side rail. The toe side bottom shape has a longer and wider flat panel, which helps with generating speed more efficiently compared to the heel side. The toe side also has a slight chine toward the nose. This is in an effort to raise the rail line in that small section to alleviate anything from catching when bottom turning with a good portion of the rail engaged or squaring up off the bottom of the wave.

I’ve been enjoying the benefits that narrower short boards have and how easy they tip onto rail in above average waves - even with single concave bottoms that normally would restrict such a thing on much wider boards. With a little more volume throughout to compensate for the lack in width, this particular board has been feeling nimble and sensitive down the line, and very controlled through carves due to more rail in the water with less curve in the outline. Because it is narrower, its turning arc increases. This makes it great for steeper stuff where more rail engagement equates to more hold in the face, or for big open faces on point break waves with some power that allow you to use the entire rail through turns and fit it’s longer arc.

A 5’11” prototype twin. One of a personal batch I’ve been excited about lately. Slightly more outline curve, a little softer of a rail, and slightly more rocker curve in comparison to previous versions so far.
