Mini Simmons vs/or Plasmic?

FWIW I’ve ridden an ocean racer. It’s pretty performance as mini simmons go...............
But it is still a mini simmons.................
Personally I think learning to log is fun and opens up a lot of marginal days

Don't know how this thread got resurrected, but I'm gonna vouch for a Mandala SuperChunk again. Rode my 5'6 quad a few times this fall and it was still magic. Ordered one 2" longer channeled twin in DA that was finished couple weeks ago, but haven't picked it up yet. Should be a great small/weak/sloppy wave boar. Might be a while til I get to try it tho, if this run of swell keeps going!
best mini simmons-type shape I've ever ridden is still the Von Sol Flying Manta
Will agree with @oeste858 that the SuperChunk is a good choice. There are 2 in the pic below, green finned Dark Arts & clear poly/PU. I liked the poly/PU better, more drive & better paddler. The SC does everything you’d want in a Mini Simmons package but will also carve and go good when there is more than just waist- size swell. I can’t say enough good things about it. If going for strictly small waves talk to Manny about a Double Rainbow. It’s the far right orange board. Flatter rocker, wider outline and thicker foil/rails. Loved it for small waves but it’s not as versatile as the SC

+1 for the Manta. I've had a Plasmic and it didn't have the low end grovel compared to the Manta. Probably archer not arrow.
Agreed but they are almost in different categories IMO. Plasmic being a SDDD/Semi Gravel with good upper end and the Manta being a super groveler that maxes out quickly.
