Nice filming and top edit, tunes as well. And the Dog was shralping.
This is kind of stuff gets the blood pumping in that part of my brain where the next board project lives.
What kind of liters and width did this board have? I'm finally going to get a locally made stick and am trying to determine my minimum dimensions. Thanks.

My current short sup 7'10 shape is a scaled down version of a wicked 8'2 x 28" x 4" x 97L with a sweet pulled in tail. simon shaped it a few years ago
i got to ride the 8'2 in some seriously meaty waves in southern oz where the board lives and omg that board went insane.....
I fist pumped the air so many times on that board after being blown away by its drive off the bottom to escape being totally annihilated by a lip
So for my latest weapon i choose to go a tad smaller
but keep the original boards wicked rail lines
7'10 x 26 x 4 x 90L
(Im currently weighing in at anywhere between 82kg to 86kg depending on if ive done a good morning sh1t or not)
So....
Simon waved his magic sup designer magic wand and i got to add a few extra personal tweaks i wanted
adjusted the deck roll around the stance area
added volume into the nose girth to assist in paddling hard on the front foot (which i do a lot of, bouncing and hopping on my front foot as i paddle)
and most of all pulled the rail outline into a seriously sweet rounded square tail
Epic smooth rail lines!!!!
And aggressive single to double concaves!!!!!
Simple As Fw@rk!!!!!
