seagate simmons.

the mini simmons is derived from a design engineered by bob simmons in the 50's. long parallel rails. hulled out nose. and wide twin fin tail. a planing machine. his boards were generally in the nine to ten foot range. 

i first rode a mini simmons last september. had a blast on it. full volume board that paddles like a log but condensed to a sub six foot package (i ride mine at 5'8'' and 5'5.5'').  very much suits the way i surf. we had a few done by larry mabile come in the shop but i ultimately opted to get allen over at seagate to shape me one and i am stoked on it.

i am very much an advocate of these surf craft. i have had the most fun on them. good waves or bad. so small, it easily fits in the pocket. a suprising amount of hold for a twin fin. im guessing because of the fin being so close to the rail and tail. i really enjoy laying into the rail off the bottom and speeding around sections. fun all around.
