Thinking of a board with a variation of the wide point forward nose as pulled as possible to not get hung against the hard offshores, a fairly straight outline with a pulled pintail and lots of nose and tail rocker. Want to keep it fairly bladed out so it is duckdivable. Thinking 7 foot range and a big single with boxes for side bites. Thoughts?

Idea for a EC Winter Barrel Board
- Thread starter mundus
- Start date
I have one, works great in the right conditions, Looking for something with more paddle to fight the current, etc endless duckdives in a 5mil and gloves really takes the fight out of you.
Bonzer 5 or 3 maybe 2 fin of your choice (Russ Short, modern, bumblebee, semi gun) shaped by Malcom Campbell
Ledge or similar 10000000%
Mine is gold in big EC and central america. Scott Busbey in buxton has also been shaping some sick sleds that are exactly what you're describing.

Ledge is a good suggestion. I like a standard step up 3”-6” longer than my shortboard. My opinion is with the short stubby boards you lose some paddle ability. My two options are a 6’1 Roberts G step up and a 6’4 wayne lynch.
Like the ledge so far, gonna look into Buseby, He as been at it along time, remember hearing of him as grom on outer banks trips
Yep with the long periods of flat nothing prepares you for the sizey hard breaking beachbreak no matter how fit you are
Another good suggestion, thanks boys. So far if I was gonna YOLO a 6'8 ledge is the leading contender.
is a big single with side bites really a good setup for a barrel boar? genuine question, I've never used side bites.
Not sure? I like big singles, I was thinking side bites might help to keep the tail engaged when trying to cut the corner and avoid a lip to head. I have found a single will sometimes spin out in this situation, of course user error is a possible expkanation as well.
Xanadu makes a single fin/forward outline specifically for barrels and its even called the Barrel Rider 
. I'd probably just get a Rusty Blackbird though if it needed it to scale up longer than my ghost.

designed with NJ tube hound Mike Gleason. They look bitchin with channels too
second the chemzenagain....get it oversized. I really prefer a quad for a barrel board in particular around nj, most spots I really need to go as fast as possible to even try to make it out... If you want local rozbern has a few models that fit this as well.
