Oh that would have been a good April Fools, but it’s real. Have you seen
the footage of Dane surfing it? Look up “Dane Reynolds Sucks at Surfing”
Totally different from thruster type riding but so fun looking!
Saw this pop up on their website April 1st… thought it was a joke. Looks
fun though
Interesting, I found it to catch waves fairly easily because of the width
it seems to plane. I was surprised because I thought the thinness would
make it sink a little lower. Had a blast on it though. Great surfboard.
Nahhhh channel islands boards are amazing BUT for a board like this local
shapers are the way to go
Surf Station I love your vids. The Sperm Whale surfs more like a short
board than you would expect it to. Its got a wild tail rocker for the type
of outline it has and even though it looks a bit Simmons-esque its easier
to turn than you’d think. Something else about this board: It looks like a
good paddler but its not. The outline makes you think it’s a high volume
shape but its really a low volume shape with a high surface area.
I couldnt afford to buy this surfboard but wanted something like this so I
can minimize the use of my Takayama on the small days.. So I ended up
shaping something similar but with an outline of my Donald Takayama in the
pink nose and a bit wider tail with a channel islands style of rails. I
hope to surf itsoon.
Always good to support the local shaper, but I will say while the outline
does look like a mini simmons in some ways it is a very different, much
thinner board with more performance rails. As we said, certainly a novelty
board…while it takes a page from simmons, it is unique in many ways. If
you get a chance to check one out in person you should.
pay 750 dolors for a board from channel islands when u can get a better
mini simons from your local shaper for around 350
