Nahhhh channel islands boards are amazing BUT for a board like this local shapers are the way to go

Interesting, I found it to catch waves fairly easily because of the width it seems to plane. I was surprised because I thought the thinness would make it sink a little lower. Had a blast on it though. Great surfboard.

Surf Station I love your vids. The Sperm Whale surfs more like a short board than you would expect it to. Its got a wild tail rocker for the type of outline it has and even though it looks a bit Simmons-esque its easier to turn than you'd think. Something else about this board: It looks like a good paddler but its not. The outline makes you think it's a high volume shape but its really a low volume shape with a high surface area.

I couldnt afford to buy this surfboard but wanted something like this so I can minimize the use of my Takayama on the small days.. So I ended up shaping something similar but with an outline of my Donald Takayama in the pink nose and a bit wider tail with a channel islands style of rails. I hope to surf itsoon.

Always good to support the local shaper, but I will say while the outline does look like a mini simmons in some ways it is a very different, much thinner board with more performance rails. As we said, certainly a novelty board...while it takes a page from simmons, it is unique in many ways. If you get a chance to check one out in person you should.

pay 750 dolors for a board from channel islands when u can get a better mini simons from your local shaper for around 350

Oh that would have been a good April Fools, but it's real. Have you seen the footage of Dane surfing it? Look up "Dane Reynolds Sucks at Surfing" Totally different from thruster type riding but so fun looking!
