    Yup, I likeee too!! But for me, as a 7'4" or so. You know, the "paddling gets harder as you age" thing.
    But I am still out there!!

    Would you take weight loss advice from a fat person?

    I don't need to lose weight. I am "thin" for my stature, age, according to actuarial tables for weight.
    And damn good looking!!!!

    I'm old too....45. It's got a little thickness to it so it'll definitely float me. Appreciate the complements!

    Been working on some boards. A 6'1" swallow tail for me and a 5'6" small wave mini simmons for a bud. They both look a little funky to me, but whatever...its all about how they go in the water. The 5'6" is a shape I've made a bunch of times before - that ones going to slay 2 foot mush.

    Right on! I want to try that 6'1. Looks interesting... How did you decide on where to place the wings?

    I like the look of that mini. Im curious, how does* that blunt nose feel and perform compared to a traditional round nose?

    No. And so it is good to have a board shaped by a surfer.

    IMO, it has the positive benefit of eliminating an inch or two of swing weight, from the tip with no consequence.

    staring at Mark Richards Insta feed. I figured he knows a thing or two about a bump wing swallow.

    Right on, that's kind of what I was thinking. Cool stuff.

    6'1" looks a little gunny in the top half...might be the picture. Tail looks sick. Which fins are in it....they look larger.
