Long John Simmons

Thanks to JP for suggesting I have this 6'4" Long/Mini Simms Pendo-ized. I've had it out a couple of times before the monster surf hit and it's pretty fun, still looking for the optimal break and conditions to see how it really goes.

Working with Steve was a treat, the guy has so much positive energy and excitement about board building and experimentation. I let him pick out the semi-cutaway keel fin from his vault of templates. He foiled them himself (double foil, looks to be 60/40). I also decided it would be cool to go with the classic Pendarvis paint job. I also got to meet Cher when I picked it up, she is super nice as well. I highly recommend getting a board from Steve, and he can retrofit many used boards as a Pendoflex. Check it out.








I like the way the Pendoization process added a secondary scoop in the tail section, accentuating the S-deck. I decided to go longer than my last mini-simms, but foil it out a lot more, and pull in the width. Still, it is a lot of flotation, and this change helps to reduce it a bit further. Didn't notice till I took the side profile shot.


New all-around usage logo by cyber-friend De Fuca. The little do-hickies making up the circle are bookmatched D fins. I like the way they resemble other things, like guitar picks, or the way a blank looks from the nose on the shaping stands. Thanks Chris!
