THE SMURF - MINI SIMMONS

The shaper tell us about this board:

"It is a classic board perfect for small / medium waves (summer waves). It has amodernized shape and I have changed things to improve its performance (the bottom, rocker, the position and angulation of the fins). This surfboard is carried in very smallmeasures but we keep the volume in the thickness and width. Even being small she isskaty and loose, has a good response in surfing in general. It has a very strong paddlingand goes well inside the wave due to its volume and flat rocker. The edges are 60/40(versatile) that withstand both waves with little force and strong tubes and sections. Thebottom is belly with 3/4 concave that deepens especially in the part of the fins (it goes atthe same angle as the fins). Being a wide board you need to have the bottom in belly togo from edge to edge with better ease, but the concave that it carries gives it extra speedto overcome tight sections of the wave, it holds the speed very well in the lower part ofthe wave. The wave easily overcoming whatever comes, whether they are "floaters", openbottoms etc, does not lose speed. It is a very fast board in handling and top speed givinga complete surf in the entire arm of the wave. The outline of the fins are trimmed likethose of a retro fish, thus improving its turn since the traditional ones of simmons arestraight without any type of angulation. They are created with resin and wood and theyhave a thermochromic effect. This means that the fins change their color depending onthe water temperature. I have designed the tail in "sharp tail". This type of tail makes thewater flow that passes through the upper part of the board drain quickly, giving it greaterspeed and less pressure at the bottom. It is a very fun board with the ability to catch a lotof waves and enjoy it a lot."
