New Mini Simmons up for grabs

When I shaped my mini simmons last summer, my dad cut out 'his version' of a mini simmons and we shaped this one at the same time. The template looks nicer. The rails and bottom and everything came out much cleaner and easier...probably because this was the second one - the first of anything is always a bitch.


It's 5'4" x 22 1/2" (ish) x 2 7/8" (ish)...I really don't remember what the dimensions are exactly, because we never measured after finishing the board.


And it had boxes instead of glassed on fins so you can move them or change the fins, which is very handy for surf change, e.g. mussy beach break verses firing point surf.


The glass job is 6-4 oz top with 3/4 4 oz patch, with a 6 oz bottom with a 4 oz fin patch. It's opaque cardboard colored with a double dark brown pin on the deck. And it's gloss and polish.


This thing is going to work pretty damn well. And by being 'up for grabs' that means its for sale if anyone is interested...let me know. cheers.

ride, mustache, ride!!

I just picked my new ride up from the glasser's this afternoon. It's 5'2" x 22 1/4" x 2 3/4" ish??? I love the color and the matte finish - can't wait to ride it...and yes, that is a mustache on the deck, because everything in life is better with mustaches and/or cute girls...unless the cute girl has a mustache, which then renders her not cute...well, you be the judge.
