Mini Simmons

Bob Simmons from California was the greatest influence on modern surfboard design with several interesting concepts.

One in particular originally showing up around 1948 was a foam core timber laminated deck and rails. Round nose and wide square tail with twin double sided foiled keel fins. The bottom design, some with a small concave, was a planing hull similar to what Greenough used much later and the White Kite model from Ted Spencer.

So now this new smaller version, between 5 foot and 7 foot is a pure planing hull with an 

s-deck for buoyancy and a straight bottom line through the tail, which makes it super fast. 

 This one will be a charcoal metal flake. Will have it finished in the shop within a week or so.
