Vlog 7: What Do World War 2 Boat Hulls Have To Do With Surfboards?

What is a Mini Simmons board?
How does it work?
And what can make them so much fun?
In this vlog, we get an opportunity to surf a modern-day take on the Bob Simmons inspired Mini Simmons surfboard when our board is damaged and goes in for repairs.
Have you surfed one?
If not, then this video may help explain a little about what they are and how they are to surf.
These videos are for any average joe surfers who are thinking about going to a wave pool to surf and wondering if the new wave pools are any good.
Join us in our 12-month challenge as we find out if a beginner can get good enough to get barrelled. Origin Surf Company

Thanks Raul, appreciate you making that comment. Some super talented people out there making boards

[@afloatfish]

It needs less length and a hollower wave to really line it and let it go

[@averagejoe6355]

Some great designs and people out there who are working on this kind of stuff. It’s awesome to see

Awesome video, thanks for putting it together. Glad to see the shout out of Richard Kenvin. I have a couple of his boards and love them.

[@averagejoe6355]

There are clearly lots of people doing some amazing stuff with boards. So many rabbit holes to go down. Who doesn’t like a bit of surf board design background!
