Why bother, the board looks terrible...... It would surf much the same.

Not real - just a shrunken whopper.

Those TACs look great on the wall top left though. Can't wait for mine to arrive in a week or so.

It reminded me of the dvs micro mal i have.
This 5'8 takayama looks like it has similar lines.

How much fun would it be!
It would be great for those big winter offshore swells here in Perth.
I can see it now

Kind of makes me think of those boards Kainoa McGee rides. Super short and great for slides and what not but he never seems to be going anywhere. Not nice to watch.

Some people like that feeling, but I can't help thinking that when you jam so many litres into such a short length they have to be added somewhere, whether in rails super thick or super wide noses and tails it is always going to be a challenge to make it surf well.

I'd rather just ride a shortboard if I wanted a board to be that loose, in fact I have for the last couple of weeks and I forgot how fun it can be.

some guy showing some new boards on the goldie left a 7'5 in a shop. got a pointy nose and swallow tail- sorta looks like shortboard fish at 29' ish wide. keen to have a go when the waves back off. looks a better prospect then the 7'2 starboard which was made as a safe kids board. this one is a kiddies too, but the shape looks more usable
cheers
ps i tried jacko's naish 8', but sank to my shins

Yeah that is Starboard Team Rider Sean Poynter.
He weighs in at 170# and loves the Impossible 6'6".
Really want to try it.

Here he is putting the 7'11" to the test.

I have ridden the 7'11" X 29-1/2".
Good board, really drives from the tail.
I am 180# and I feel it is good for rampy waves up to head high.
