Double Ender

Lately I have been very fortunate to be able to do some experimentation with mid-length surfboards. This a spin on my "double ender", however instead of the round pin I was able to go with a pin tail. This particular board is 8'8 x 22 1/2 x 2 3/4 with a single to double concave that transitions to V off the tail. I prefer riding these boards in any wave from waist high to just over head. Truly a perfect all around board.

Arc Tail Pig

One of many pig variations the arc tail allows for the best of both worlds. This particular board has a wider nose than most and makes for a great nose rider. The custom D is a firm anchor that generates speed and stability off the nose.

Skegg

As usual I finish this mid-length egg a few weeks ago. Of all my egg models this particular template (Skegg) is my favorite. Influenced largely by Skip's eggs this egg outline has a more directed nose that incorporates a bit of ear in the front third of the template. The board features a rolled bottom rail, a moderate rock and plenty of volume. The bottom is set up with a single to double concave that transitions into V out the tail. Over all this board is equipped to handle whatever is thrown its way.
