small waves, clear water, offshore winds, and the sun out in full force... let's rock!

Looks like fun!... Thanks for posting Colas, need some of that sun here at the moment!!

that wonderful music almost makes me forgive you for those absurdly short boards

The rails.....a bit thick.....for bigger waves?

Yes, it is a board designed mainly for waves from hip to head-high. The raisl have not a lot of volume actually, due to the domed deck. But for bigger or more powerful waves, you need to be careful to properly dig the rail, and I have a similar shape but with a more pulled-in tail, and a tad less volume and width: 7'4" x 28" x ~ 115 liters that you can see here: (alas in inconsistent waves)



and: imgur.com/a/n2ubK (pics of a 6'10" Simmons and the 7'4")

but I must say it is hard work, so when I am a bit tired I tend to play it safe with a 8'4" x 30" x 125 liters more traditional (mini-gun) shape, or a low volume (105 l) 7'6" "Tomo" with lots of rocker.

So much that she even married me :-)

But she only comes at the end of my sessions, she is not masochistic enough to go to the beach before the sun is out :-)

Good stuff colas.... I am enjoying your new home!

Nice waves..looks warm too
