Hello
I know the best gliding boards are the narrow and long ones, but I like putting a short board (5'4") in my car with the family and stand up in choppy watters easily. Could somebody mention some short models which have checked that glide and take off very well in light winds?
Thanks.

But how much volume do you need?
The older AK Phazers might suit you. They were quite quick up to plane, but not near an Midlength 5.6x90lThe whole thing is that lengthn really helps a lot with early planing and loosing width while keeping volume in. There are no really tricks to work around that. Short slim boards bcome too thick and corky.Short wide boards have more drag. choose your poison.
