Flipped a 9’6” glider template around and used the nose outline as the tail on a 8’9” blank to maximize the length. No fin included but works amazing with a Larry Allison GL flex 9.0 all the way up in the fin box. Reverse VEE bottom. Board paddles into small waves very easily and turns and pumps down the line well. Glassed lighter but not too light. Very durable high quality glassing. Perfect board for someone looking for something fun and easy to surf on the smaller days without having to noseride but definitely can cheater 5 if you want. Works great for smaller and bigger guys!
