feeler: 5'8" ...Lost LayZboy

this is pretty much exactly what I have in a 5'8"...a very comfy amount of foam. shaped by Chaize in Asbury Park. got it on CL. i think i could go as short as 5'4" or 5'6" without the 5mil. you should look him up.

 

Chris Chaize makes super functional boards, i own one as well. for small waves his mini simmons and mini 'slimmins' are legit. he's a big fan of foam, but like i said his boards just work, so don't be deterred by something close to 3" at its thickest point. if your close with Wynn, ask him about Chris, because Wynn glasses all of Chris' boards. so yeah, you could score a Chaize close to home..wouldn't have to pick it up in Asbury. he's also a super nice dude, and was in contact with me every step of the way thru the process. i stopped by his shaping shack more than a few times just to discuss things.

 

Is this board still for sale?

 

I got a 5'4" sweet potato for rolly waist to chest high days. It is super fun for that stuff. You can catch some real crap on that thing. If it's smaller I just ride my log. I have a 6' sharp eye disco for chest plus stuff but I realized I just don't like the traditional thruster shape. Rode my buddies 5'7 biscuit in some juicy waves in Mex and realized I just like a foamy board that is flat...even when the waves are steep. Thinking about getting a Lost RV...anyone try one of those?????

 

i was looking for the 'anti longboard" a couple years ago as well. was hoping that heritage would carry the puck, but they did not and had not intetion of at the time. no other shops either. i ended up buying a christenson ocean racer and wow how it has made surfing small waves fun. had just as much fun surfing thigh to waist high days on that thing than ive had in 6' offshore pumping waves. where can you buy the puck? i will probably always have a board like this in my quiver. i believe dan callaghan was making a couple of these minisimmons as well last year.

 

did not know that. good to know though. what are the dims on that 5'4"? the puck or puck2.0? havent seen the 2.0, but will have to check that out. probably a great board for the south end

 

nice. ill check it out. sounds like its gonna be a fun summer for you. from june through august i dont think i used another board besides my mini.

 

my buddy Bill has that same one. he got his when i got my minisimmons. rides it a lot in the smaller stuff and seems to really like it. ahhhhhh so many boards to try out.

 

Best board for our south end probably. The waves do get decently powerful if there's some kind of storm (talking summertime here)
