I have a question regarding the Big Chief 6’10″ x 21″ x 3″

double wing swallow. I’d like to know what the nose and
tail widths are.

Hi,

The nose is right around 12″ and the tail right around 15″.
If you let me know your age, height, weight, experience, and the type of waves you need the board for…I can detail the magic design and dimensions for you…..or do you just want dimension info for your own use? Aloha, Todd

Thanks for your response. I was kind of thinking of stealing
your ideas. I’m kidding.

I’m 40 years old and have been

surfing for 30 years.

My skill level is well above intermediate – advanced but well below of course an expert/pro level. I’m about 5’11″ and 250 pounds. At 170 I rode mostly 6’1″ to 6″4″ boards right around 18.5″ and 2.25″. When I got up to 210 to 220 a 6’5″ x 19.5″ x 2 7/16″ gave me a good balance of drive and turn. I spend about one week a month in Orange County (Newport to Surfside/Sunset Beach mostly) and the rest of the time it’s Ventura.

I surf beach breaks almost exclusively.

I just need an everyday board for small to a bit overhead surf. Something that can be surfed aggressively and won’t fight me with too much length or thickness. I don’t mind having to paddle. It might even be good for me. Thanks for your time.

Hi ….Johnny is it??

I recommend a 6’6″ x 19 5/8″ x 2 5/8″ (nose at 11 7/8″ and tail at 14 3/4″ Big Chief/ G-4.E….this is the most versatile high performance shortboard I make.

The Big Chief dimensions

give it the perfect amount of foam

so your board pushes back through turns and complements your build rather than your typical stock board which usually caters to 150- 180 lb. surfers.

The G-4.E generates incredible speed and has

good carry through flat spots,

yet equally as well it holds in and surfs fast, loose and tight in the pocket without feeling like it’s going to slip out when you bear into it….a great board for the variety of conditions you encounter at beachbreaks, but one that really comes to life in the punchier stuff.
Well, please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic Proctor Big Chief/ G-4.E.
Looking forward to your reply,
Aloha,

Todd
