6'5" Double Hot Curl

Who needs fins ?

Not an original idea by any means. I made this drawing designs off a few pics I saw online around the globe. This is my version...












Like anything with odd coutures this board had it's challenges. The triangle-hulls was just a paint to get the wood sitting perfectly and then glued down onto the EPS foam blank.

Ride report:
It's a BIG rig. I could have lost a couple of inches of it's length and at least 1-2 inches off the width BUT it glides onto waves. I tested it out in 2ft clean rolling surf and had no issues catching waves 9ft + longboards where catching. It's a bit of a funny board it doesn't turn that well but on a point it's no bid deal. Draw out a bottom turn and chances are you'll keep going straight and kook it. Gets some speed down the line and if it gets a bit of steepness in the face of the wave you'll get a bit of slide happening. Really enjoyed riding this board for something different and out there!
