I've got a magic carpet which has the same bottom contours on a HP fish template. Board works as advertised and does not need much of a wave to get going. That said, I havent found it's top end yet. I suspect I wont (in England). I'm running the Hooker fins and haven't felt the need to experiment. Great finish etc, mine is a made in indo carbon/basalt build.

I'm assuming these are the "grovel" dims?

yeah they are all grovel boards, on second look i don’t like either of thowe dims. I would want daily driver dims
Mostly surfing in Norwegian mush, guess even our good days qualify as quite small in international standards, so the groveler dims might be a good idea.
Thanks, sounds like we have the same "problem" regarding wave quality
Norwegian surfer here, but seems like the Revolution might we a good option for a variety of waves, even the odd good day or for traveling.
They have a bunch of his EPS Carbon ones here:

Aren't familiar with those, but have had a few HTR boards from Jim. Never a dud among them. Jim is an amazing dude and smart shaper. His boards all held up well - until I broke a leash on a late drop DOH day at Little Rincon - the board washed straight into the rocks. Destroyed.
Also, don't order "sand" colored boards. I ordered two boards from Jim that were "sand" color, not thinking there would be any real issue about them being light brown. I got a the boards from him, opened the box, and they were pink... ermm, "salmon" colored. It was brutal. After that, I always ordered a dark green from Jim.
