Anyone care to gander at what model this looks like or closest to? Decent shot of rocker profile may offer a clue?

I need some sort of daily driver-ish middle ground round pin and these are about the dims I am looking for. Not to mention price is right. Round tail GX sounds about right for what I am looking for.

Looks like a Scarecrow or one of his other HP models. GXRP would be a bit fuller nose/tail I reckon. Also the GXRP usually has more of a pin vs. the round/thumb tail this one has.
Doesn't look like too much rocker (although it's always hard to really be sure just from pics).
Love the look of it myself. And the price.

I think I know the answer to this but I'm curious for input. I usually ride 31-32L for my grovelers and DD short boards, I have some smaller boards that work when there's push but I also have to be on it/in shape.
Anyways, there's a 5'7" x 20" x 2 3/8" 30L ish groveley twinzer on CL around here that's pretty tempting, but I feel like it's just a little too small and won't be that fun. I'll primarily be using for summer conditions in north county SD. Will the low rocker offset the size difference? I'm leaning towards.... it might not be the greatest groveler for my size (185lbs).

Yea Im tripping, I think I just got the best deal ever on a surfboard - PU/PE Flare with 4/4/4/ S Glass all around - tail fiber, full board paint and a five fin setup, and its the cheapest custom Ive ever been quoted - even from Tim. Love it!sd_101 said:
Get more volume in an alt/fishy shape IMO. I haven't had much success going smaller with them. Always better to have tons of speed to burn in mush.Hoarder said:
Thanks guys. I was thinking the same thing, but I also have a craigslist deal addiction, so it was hard to resist.
Ran into this dude Cyrus today at a jetty parking lot. He saw my stamps and got all stoked, ran and grabbed a couple of his own. I recognized the boards from one of tims recent instagram pics of a grey 3 board EPS quiver. He offered up the banjo fish for a demo so myself and a good buddy each took it for a spin. It was only a 5-5 so it felt a little undersized to me but I really liked it. Felt like it had a little more rocker than the TKF and definitely had more of a turny outline. Plenty of fishy drive but was a bit more capable in the pocket and above the lip. My buddy was frothing on the thing and surfing it really well.
I shouldn't even be thinking what I'm thinking.

My local surf shop up here on the Oregon coast recently hooked up with Tim, first load of boards from him due in a week or so, a mix of customs for the surf shop crew. My order is already in for the next batch.
Tim lived in Bend Oregon at one time, know's the waves we surf, he's gonna get a lot of biz from us.

I heard that Moment was getting some of his boards and they might of been being glassed up here too? Now I can ride one without looking like a CA guynimby said:
Will be interesting to hear some feedback. What'd ya get? yea, Jeff and the crew getting first batch. Boards being glassed down in SoCal from his usual.

Only a few decent glassers in this whole state, Murdey being a good one and only glasses for himself these days.
Both Lopez and Art at North Pacific routinely go through hoops trying to find reliable glassers, recruit them from HI, SoCal, train a local..none last, all eventually hit the road.
Don't matter where you boards are glassed, not in this state, where when you discuss rocker and glassing schedules with the average surfer their eyes glaze over and roll back in their heads..
