7'0 x 20 3/4 x 2 7/8

JEEF FISH

60 40 rails, a tucked edge, flat to V, mild rocker and hobie style keels glass on

I opt for a more round , medium, modern rail

smooth, with something to push off, and classic wide 12-13" tail block for free speed.

"TAROTPLANE"

aka Twin pin

A nice curvey twin fin.

fishy ~15 1/2" nose , wide point center +

pulled in round pin

subtle tri plane bottom

good from low 5' for light weight riders --> 8'

i like to run glass ons

-looks good

-feels good

-strong

typically a wider base upright fin. drivey but not sticky.

the board rides smooth, and allows for both tight rips and long swoops. easier to catch waves than your short board, with the fishy nose, and can (depending on length) trim out fatter/slopier sections .

Bonzer

or for a few.....

twin

A great option for a smaller mid length (6'3 -> 7'5) that does the trick in most average conditions....and is a treat , when the situation becomes groovy . trims well , weight forward, for a smaller mid ranger . performs well off the tail/fin cluster

a note from the author......

"i have been making this "model" since the beginning of my voyage, and it has been called many things, and has various proportional alterations.....but the essence is potent, and it proves to be bitchin time and again. "

"BILLIE JEAN"

"BULL STICK"

Long Fish

Twinzer

Foiled, and full through the center

7'6 - 10'

sweet spot upper 8's lower 9's

~11" Taill Block

22.5-23.25 wide

Inspired by the San Diego legends

This long fish was designed with da bull jr.....

....For cadillac smooth, hot rod speed and wrapping cuttys, frontside and backside. The twinzer cluster is high and tight, pushing the "pivot" point up, giving the board a keel looseness and unmistakably unique twinzer flow /acceleration off the tail.

I try and keep the curve smooth through and through, as opposed to a more parallel outline , to make for smooth sailing

"BONGOMON"

surfing hollow days inspired surf board
Rolled bottom, heavy glass, rounded square tail

pulled in pointed eggy nose

wide point back

part pig, part P.E., part glider, all fun

this board rides like a two stepper. up for the trim speed high line, back for the heavy duty cut back.

recommended with

the obscure yater pivot fin for lip check hot doggin

or the yater apocolpyse fin for good power and not stiff

or the yater Spoon fin for full fin feel. drive and direction

or glass on custom with my slightly altered version of the Yater Spoon fin

or the Velzy noserider for a down the line , drop knee ripper
