Yeah, EPS with wood deck. These are lean, mean, and ready to rip. I would say they are a touch lighter than PU equivalents.
I used to have a Hess probably about 12 years ago. Loved the board. Heavy as fark to quote Oceanslide.
Went over the falls on a big NY hurricane swell and the rail got me in the head. Split it open pretty bad.
Miss that board though!

If say "Simon Anderson ain't sh!t" without saying "Simon Anderson ain't sh!t" were a quiver
Rides like a good "shortboard." As Brian Hilbers emphasized to me, its a "hulled quad NOT a "quad hull." Its just a "regular shortboard" with some hull elements: it's pretty foiled out (especially in the nose), and has a bit of very subtle belly in the front half of the board, and then a deep double concave in the tail. The belly gives you just a hint of the ball bearing effect you get from a hull. But it is really, really subtle. It goes great in good surf and is very stable. If you know Brian, he likes shaping variations on hulls, like his MP3 model, that are much more user friendly than a true hull. I bought this board when I was transitioning away from riding an MP3 as my daily driver for a year or so.
Yep. I got your old fins in the Gibbons twin. They work great.
Not a quiver shot, but had a recent addition to the quiver. Story: I used to have a Zippifish about 10 years ago. Sold it because it was too big or some other dumb reason. My buddy bought it from me and he moved to the mountains and disappeared. I got a call last week. He drove from Washington State to see me in Ventura. He gets here and pops the trunk. And behold...my old Zippi 10 years later and not surfed since I owned it. He gifted it back to me and I just got out of the water with a smile ear to ear. Board felt so good!!! Super fun little board.
5'9...don't know other dims. 21 plus wide 2 5/8 thick?

Couldn't believe in how good of shape it was in. 2 small dings I easily fixed and a pressure dent on the bottom but overall amazing condition. Haven't surfed a fish with keels that big in a while so was worried it would be too much fin for my taste. Not at all. Was shocked how easy it was to turn. Looking forward to surfing it all week in this swell we are having.
My old ones from a few years back. Do miss them from time to time

Nor apparently big boards. You don't need to have a gun, but you DO need to have a longboard.
A longboard really should be a part of everyone's quiver. I know you have one - it's just hidden.
for how organized and legit your garage is im surprised you don’t have epoxy floors. does look like you have a polisher, however.
would bang
