There was a guy at a well known La Jolla spot who surfed one often. Trippy looking board. One of the few quads I saw in that era, although quads were popular for a bit before then. Looked like it worked well.

There's an older guy who still surfs one whenever there's decent waves around Sunset Cliffs, looks fast.
I'm thinking good wave board up to 2x overhead (my 5'6 Oyster Fork has me covered up to 1.5x overhead). This is the longest hpsb I've ordered in quite a while. My stubby board is 5'6, all arounder is 5'7, hpsb is 5'8 and then this one. I was anticipating moving to Santa Cruz when I ordered this, so I wanted a bit more board for larger waves, more moving water, a bit more bump, etc....
Wow. DOH on a 5’9”. I’d be curious how it goes. You’re braver than me. Anything above 7-8’, I feel like I get tossed around going under waves and can struggle to get into waves early enough. I see the guy from Hydrodynamica, RK, out using a Burch asym as his stepup, but it’s like a 7’2”.
Well, I guess I should qualify my statement by saying not all DOH waves are equal (obviously). While I'm fairly confident this will handle DOH at some spots, other spots at DOH will definitely require more board. I have plans to order a 6'0, 6'3 and a 6'6 for some of the other waves around here at DOH.
I've also never been the "paddle my 9'0 gun out at Swamis guy." I've always been the "less foam is my friend" type of person for some reason. Maybe because I learned on 90's glass slipper type boards. So this board is a bit bigger than what I'm used to, but I think it's what I'm after.

Saw Burch surfing Seaside today while checking it. Ripping on one of those pickle fork nose boards.
what brand of skinny jeans do u wear to compliment this beautiful work of art?
This pivots tighter than a symetrical board going backside because of features like the round tail, increased tail rocker, cut-away fins, and the shorter, rounder rail line on the heel side. Transitions from rail to rail are easier without having to compensate (as much) for the different ways we distribute our weight due to the asymmetry of out bodies. Probably hard to imagine for some unless you've tried one.
Tail is probably closer to 15" wide, but don't have it with me at the moment to measure.
