The pad?
Yeah, it's a big one. No kick bar either, which is weird.
I didn't put it on but I"m not going to write it off until I get it in some better waves.
A little more rocker, vee under the chest, narrower in the nose but still full.
Kind of splits the difference between a Padillac and a 90s elf shoe gun, leaning more to the design of the Padillac.
The M13 works better in chunky choppy sh!t and works better for the type of large wave I typically surf.
Padillac paddles better and works better for point-and-pray type of surfing.
the m18 is a great alt stap. i have a 7’0 i look forward to riding this winter.
I haven’t looked at them together and haven’t fondled a normal M13 in quite awhile so I’m going off memory.
M13 is narrower and more refined, knifier.
M23 has curvier outline, wider nose, more foam.
I think the rockers are essentially the same.
If the boards were women…
M13 - 90s fat chick
M23 - 2022 fat chick

Great condition M13 - good step up board as winter approaches (or good for beginners). 7’4 x 20 3/4 x 2 7/8 - reach out with any questions!

The M-13 looks pretty unbeatable for a mortal in heavier waves. The vee, the fuller outline. It looks like a board more concerned with working despite your deficiencies rather than trying to keep up with the cool kids.
The M-22 looks like it probably works great, but it's kinda heading more eggy. But maybe I'm just being vain.

I'm in my late 30's, and bigger waves are probably the only area where I'm still improving. But I think a big part of that is going 19-19.5" wide on my step ups. I have a 6'2" x 19 1/4" that I ride in bigger waves than I would my 6'6"x18.5" from way back in the day.I always thought this thing looked mental, although I know I could never make this work
