An adaptation of the egg, the speed disc bridges the gap between the full egg outline and the short board. Standard dimensions are 5'8 x 19 3/4 x 2 3/8. This model can shaped with a retro egg rail or with a progressive short board style rail. The featured board has a single to double concave and is directed by a set of quad fins. This one belongs to a salty compadre, check out there blog to the right.

The next few post will be highlighting a few of the short board oriented shapes that have been feeding my stoke. All of these shapes are strongly influenced by the modern short board rail and feature progressive concaves with moderate rockers. This first shape is the Evo Disc. The out line is heavily influenced by the Evolution of the Sea style eggs that where primarily responsible for transitioning surfing into the short board of the 70's. A true double ender this board excels in all conditions from waist high to a couple of feet over head. The board featured is 5'8 x 20 x 2 3/8 and is available in multiple dimensions to serve any purpose.

The above featured board is the last of an order that recently went out to New Evolution Surf Shop. This board is a standard mini-simmons with some fancy panel work done by Larry Crow.

Here are a couple of shots of a simmons that I built for New Evolution Surf Shop in Japan. If you haven't checked out there blog to the right I would strongly recommend it.

This Arc tail pig was finished a week ago and is headed for New Evolution Surf Shop in Japan. The board features an arced tail that works together with the timeless hips of a pig to make for one smooth turning single fin. This particular pig has a strict nose concave supported by a traditional rolled belly all steered by a hand foiled wood D fin.
