It’s a conspiracy bro- all done in the name of covering up the fact an elite pro is riding 20” wide boards in contests. In typical Mayhem fashion, MB gives zero fks n spilled the beans
This is dangerous news and shouldn’t be let out. We can’t have the masses ordering appropriate equipment. Continue with the Slater agenda, push boards shorter than rider height and the idea that adding 1/4 inch to a glass slipper makes it a fish.
I should nuke this thread n start a KS Great White appreciation thread, curate it to push under sized boars to the masses
I write 19 3/4" on all my boards....
regardless of actual width (shhh, I do this on all the numbers, including volume)

there’s already a ks great white turd thread or did kelly newsome have mods delete it…
Old quiver shot. All 20 +
Still have n ride the keel fish, which is like 21 3/4 x 5’7. Ridiculously fun n the right conditions.
Respect to the big bois! Those are some erBB-sized dims right there!!!
I've always felt like wider boards were hindered rolling rail to rail but the first wave in the final Cole did like 7 belts to the lip so maybe I've been wrong all along. That being said Mayhem have oddly wide and thin stock dims.
Does kelly have small feet?
I’ve only recently ventured into the 20s. i have difficulty writing and admitting this.
I recently sneered when I felt up 18 7/8, which 15yrs ago was wide to me.

The days of anemic pro boards are long gone for almost a decade.
The guy is 6'3 and 200 lbs.
These are pretty normal "pro" dims for a guy his size.
I heard in real life he’s more like 6’5 260.
A person would have to be to be able to turn a board that big.
The volume and the length, sure. But none of the current big guys are on widths like that. Wade Carmichael was on 19.5" and that was the widest in recent times. Jordy on 19.25" or so; JJF sub 19"; Owen Sub 19"; Connor Oleary a bit over 19".
Occy's original 1984 model... that was around 20" I think.
I want to say kelly actually has huge feet for his height. Size 12s or something?
Supposedly Cole is 6'3 200lbs. Interesting board dims for sure. Short n wide.
I don’t own a board less than 21” wide and never will again.
20 is kind of my go to width these days for boards to shreds on.
I have a ghost that’s 19 7/8.
My recent purchase of a Red Beauty - 20
AO - 20 1/2
Dysasym - 20
twinsman - 20 1/4
plasmic - 20 1/2

Frm my experience width is just part of it. The rail size n shape is a big deal- I say this based on making the same board- same width, thickness, rocker n bottom but multiple versions - pinching / refining rail, flat deck, domed deck etc.
Have done that w a few diff designs. A little added width gives you room to bring the rail down while maintaining thickness in the center for paddle power/float
