it looks like my favourite hot buttered kneeboard from the early 80s has been reincarnated in wood.
...would work well as a kneelo.....I had a mate , keen kneeboarder, who exclusively rode G&S short twin-fins prone,,,,,,,swore by them actually !

Ha - not entirely sure actually

. I thought the traveller had a teeny tiny bit too much float for me, but this one is maybe a bit under. It doesn't glide on flat water as good as the traveller, so paddle outs are certainly a bit more effort, also I'm a fair bit taller than batoes so am finding this board is easier to get too much of my weight on the tail or nose and sink/dig the front rail in
Had some cracking waves on it, but also heaps of fails. I reckon I need to go bigger

think this one is also a 5'4", I like the fabric inlay on this one, added strength under foot, only where it needs it....
![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)
close up it looks like woven Bamboo...., now just apply coconut scented wax and you can almost kid yourself you are in a Pacific Island paradise, oh no I'm not, its very crowded shitty waves on school hols....

That bottom one looks classy!
I now officially have a 5'1 Dim Sim for sale - it's not
quite enough beef for my 6'0 77kg frame in smaller waves. Someone shorter or maybe a little bit lighter should be fine. It's goes ballistic on waves with push....but thats not really why I want one.
It's batoes old board, and in fantastic condition. The sooner someone buys it, the sooner mark can make me one.
![rofl :D](./images/smilies/rolf.gif)
For realsurfers I'll do the same great deal batoes did.....$350 with two sets of fins. I'm in sydney.

Just to follow on from Tophers post - I also have my 5'6" mini simmons for sale for exactly the opposite reason, as I got a bit carried away and made it with too much foam for my 76kgs!! (Really fast and fun when up and riding, but I just cant get it under a wave and end up getting battered).
Its 5'6"x 21 1/4 x 3 1/8, about 49ltrs according to Aku Shaper. Would suit someone in the 85-100kgs range.
Professionally glassed by the guys that do the Webber boards, with FCS keels. Is about 2 months old.
$250ono. Can deliver to some NSW Sth Coast locations, possibly Sydney. Happy to pack if you want to send.

I second that, NICE!
Who designs the boards? Yourself Kayu? Or are you the organic wooder (instead of glasser) in the process?
