I know. They are nice looking boards and he's added a few more to the line-up that look good too. Too many boards, too few dollars, too few days to surf!

Sure are, if they re now being produced up here hopefully there will be a couple in the line up. A lot of shapers up here are doing their mini sim versions.batoes wrote:I know.

Interesting that you like yours in spring and summer...I get mine out more in the cleaner autumn and winter conditions! Mine is a twin keel tho...maybe that's why I dig it more on the points.

Re: Mini Simmons
i prefer something a little more pulled in and rockered to make them slightly more HP on a daily basis grovel type board, but gotta admit the full on over volumed, straight railed, flat rocketed, mini simmons are fun for driving off the keels and cruising on down the line tiny waves.fongss wrote:Ok, I'm open too any design, but
This didn't work for me.
I'm currently doing dings on one.....and the bloke was so distressed he couldn't surf it for a few days I honestly had source him a loaner (Thxs huie)
That's how they rate
Some blokes just love em! Normal ppl find them stupid.
I find them a joke, rather a hp shorty or a mid length.
But those that love em.....love em with a passion.
Poor deranged fools
Re: Mini Simmons
My 5'4" JD would probably come under the mini simmons category. I got it as a replacement for my 9'1". It's for tiny fat slow waves. Last surf I had on it was waist high close to shore, half decent waves. Catches waves just as easy as the 9'1", is crazy fast, but is so light and loose it's not funny. Instead of cruising along, I'm turning like there's no tomorrow. Head high it's almost uncontrollable, but I have a JD keel fish for head high haha.
If I had the choice of what I surfed everyday it'd be walling, long left hand point waves for the keel fish ( sorry everyone, I really like them ), but i have to surf what's there, when I get the time to get to the beach. And often it's up to head high and average.
