>SHORTBOARD models
>>The Scout

Not so much a model as a state of mind,
these handshapes run a variety of outline
dimensions and bottom contours, in sizes
ranging from 6’2 to 9’2.

The common denominator is a lower entry rocker and a fuller, curvier template under the chest. They have enough thickness or width to glide in mush and feel secure in bumpy or large conditions, while carrying an outline, rocker, and rail volume that gives them the sensitivity to qualify as a shortboard ride.

Two pictured here:

The squashtail is
6’8 12 1/2 X 20 1/4 X 14 5/8 X 2 11/16

The roundtail is a 7’4:
13 X 21 1/4 X 15 X 2 13/16

Most are 3-fins but there’s some mean
quads out there.
