What type of board would Todd recommend for a beach break type of wave that is really short and pretty weak?

Looking for something that can generate speed very quickly as the wave doesn’t give you much time to build speed.

Ok, this is where one of those new designs I was talking about would go insane…..

cause I realize everybody almost everywhere has conditions like what you describe…so that’s why I designed the “Monsta”: you ride this board a couple inches longer than a Rascal, about 1/4″ narrower and right around the same volume maybe just a hair less on the rail volume. I’m using the same basic rail line rocker as the Rascal II, but have dug out all the spiral vee through the back third of the board and run instead an even single concave throughout the entire bottom of the board with inset double concaves through the back 1/3 of the board and through the fins….there is even a slight concave running right off the tailblock. This gives the board a wide open sweet spot, a lot of quick get up and go right off the bat, and also gives the board really positive hold through more critical, vertical turns in the pocket. The outline is changed up to more of a full outlined shortboard as opposed to a roundnosed front end. I think you could go 5’7″ x 19″ x 2 1/4″ Monsta with a winged diamond tail or a wide hip squash. Don’t need channels with this new hull contour, but the five fin is still sick for it.

My friend is interested in a board too…he’s a big dude though…5’11 220 lbs.

He rides a Boardworks Epoxy Hynson Fish 6’6 x 21” 7/8 x 2” 3/4 — has Todd made boards for big guys?

I make tons of boards for bigger guys actually….

since many stock boards in shops don’t have what is right for a lot of these guys, I am able to give them something that is the right volume, yet still a board they can rip on….and not just a big plug. I think he would be stoked on a Monsta also. I think he could drop it down a bit, but keep the thickness up…..like 6’3″ x 21 1/2″ x 2 7/8″ with a winged diamond or a wide hip squash. Five fin setup is good too. I’ll have Charissa send you a picture of what I’m talking about tomorrow. I’ve got a bunch of them going right now for guys around here they are starting to take off. Please let me know your thoughts when you’ve received the new pics of the Monsta. BTW….this is my current favorite board and I’ve been riding it in everything unless it’s way overhead…Ok well hope that helps. Talk to you soon, and thanks again for the killer review,

Aloha,

Todd
