I'm in the mood for another mini simmons.
Anyone have one of his Pizza Box models?

Deepest Reaches "Pizza Box"

Inspires me to get rid of all my pop outs, run to a local shaper, and beg for forgiveness.
He makes great boards but the laminating jobs aren’t the best. If you do get a board from Kyle I’d have it glassed somewhere you know does quality work (I don’t know who does his).
Other than Kyle, I’d go straight to the source and order one from Richard Kenvin aka Hydrodynamica.

How bout the Xanadu Xbox?
I've tried a few quads and not really a fan...I wonder how this translates into something simmons-ish? i.e. quad vs twin

If you like thrusters, get a mini simmons thruster.
No sense in settling for a quad if you haven't clicked with them.

I love the slippery feeling of the twin fin mini simmons...
Is that lost with the quad?
I don't know why I can click with twins but not quads.
Loved the Ocean Racer, one of the best boards ever...
I see.
I only have a little experience riding my mini-sim as a quad. It wasn't slippery at all. Much preferred it as a thruster.
I feel like a quad set-up would make them more hp, but if you go that route you might as well just go thruster since you don't like quads. But it sounds like that's not what you're looking for......
What about twinzer?
Never rode a twin mini simmons, but have a few twin and quad fishes. Definitely prefer the ride of the twin keel over the quads. I think the quad might allow a more aggressive approach, which is not what i'm looking for when riding a shape like that.
I have a simmons like board that is a quad, 4'10 Solid Bento Box.... I like it, but I'll probably order another as a twin keel soon.

JT Coffin
Modeled after a classic, The Coffin has shortboard style rails, a pulled in tail and nose, and features that make it easy to paddle and generate speed. Beginners can utilize this shape by ordering the same as their height or above, while Intermediate/Advanced surfers should ride this as short as...

I have one of those, second hand at 5'4 it's too big for me but I couldn't help it. Can't comment on the ride though as I only rode it once in some real crap. It's a quad though, and I don't even think a set of split keels would work in that board. Ironically FedEx should be dropping off a 5'2 Keel Fish to me, from Dark Arts, tomorrow. Hopefully it shows up unscathed.checkit

Album Symphony looks close to a true mini simmons. Probably have to go custom for twin keels though. Available in XTR also

Bing Puck looks okay too, but at that price, you might as well order another Ocean Racer.
Symphony Model
Inspired by Mini Simmons planing hulls, the Symphony is one of the fastest, funnest shapes we make — a good session guaranteed. Ride it short. An excellent wave catcher, gets up to speed right off the drop and just takes off from there. Flows around flat sections and allows for tight, on-rail...
