5'6" Mini-Simmons w/ West Coast Hercs Logo

Justin flew to Jax from Ventura and picked up his mini-simmons today.  We scored a chilly and windy session at Blue Tops on Mayport and he was tearing it up.  I knew he liked the board when after a few rides he said that he wants to order a quad fish too.  Here are a couple pics of the finished product.  I look forward to hearing how it rides out at C-Street!

 I couldn't resist the photo op!

6'8" x 12.5" x 20.5" x 15.5" x 2.75" Shortboard

I've slowly been working on a new shortboard over the past couple of months.  It is inspired by two "magic" boards that I've ridden in the past; a 6'10" Costa Azul that I rented in Cabo and a 6'6" CI Whip.  This board is 6'8" x 12.5" x 20.5" x 15.5" x 2.75" with a single concave starting at ~12" and transitioning to a double concave at midpoint and extending to the trailer fin with vee off the tail.  I took a lot of time and experimenting on other boards to get the concaves and fin positioning right.  The concaves begin right after the rails tuck, so I had to use 9 degree cant FCS fusion plugs for the uppers and 5 degree cant for the rears. Also, I stuck pretty close to the McKee fin positioning doctrine to provide maximum speed and reliability.  Here is how it looks so far...
