Interesting the balance between width and ability to turn a big board. Too narrow and you loose the curve in the plan shape which I feel helps with turning, but too wide and it becomes harder to sink the rail.

How do you size your mini-guns and guns?

@Sniper, where do you plan on using this Puerto Padi?
As an aside, I want @Pyzelsurfboards to make an OB Padi.
Basically, split the difference between a regular Padillac and a Puerto Paid.
I think that would be the ultimate OB gun.

I have been using it on an outer reef that breaks here during the summer to test it, but I plan on taking it on my trip to the NW in the fall. Hoping it in big OB style beach breaks in Oregon, Humboldt,and maybe even OB if I make it down that far. In the winter here I will probably use it in 8 to 10 foot beach break here on the Westside. I usually use an 8’0 Minami and a 9’0 Wellman, but they are a little wide in the nose so this should be perfect for knifing drops. I took it out again in some lined up 6 foot surf a few day ago and the thing felt like a short board in terms of maneuverability. More waves coming tomorrow so going to switch between the fins and test it a bit more.
Just picked the boar up. Stood it up against the wall at the shop to take a pic. So it’s not my grass or various items laying around. Haha.,
Tokoro 4X. 6’8 x 20 1/4 x 2 3/4. Single 4 oz bottom one layer 4 oz e-cloth one layer 4 oz s-cloth on the deck. Had Yukiko, Kerry’s wife spray it green.
Plan to surf it in doh plus waves and hopefully snag a couple of tubes. Glassed it light so I can tip it over on rail.
I know this boar got action. I was picking it up and turning it around to leave and just grazed a boar in the used boar rack. Luckily no dings. I told Yukiko this boar is action it already wants to hit everything. She cracked up.
That thing makes me want to go to HI and get some sick ones on a 3-4' day that I tell my friends (and myself) was a 6-8' day.
