Quite possibly you're correct, I was primarily thinking twinny becasue that's what I'd seen the guy riding originally. :idea:

My 6'0" fish has 5 plugs in it, only ever ridden it as a quad though because it goes so good.

I was thinking 5'6" - 5'8" for this little rocket.

I'll give you a bell.

Still really interested in the round nose thing, anyone have a true round nose short board?
yep, but it's a kneeboard. i like the rounded nose a lot. plenty of volume under the shoulders so it's easy to get onto waves, planes well for getting around weak sectioning waves. not the best for turning, but that's more a problem with older style fat, rounded rails.

Not me sorry mate, hell of a day.

Will catch up with you though, got a couple days off now and heading out of town so I'll try and call while I'm away.

similar idea but not as short as some are going, think 5'2" might be too extreme for average surfers but I think this should go really well...Am extremely keen on doing one of my Swingers at a shorter length, maybe 5'6" or 5'8".....

dims on this one are 5'11" x 19" x 2 1/2" , stringerless PU, glassing in epoxy with carbon-kevlar rails, light as farrk.... yeeehaaa.... 8)
