Custom alternative twin fin swallow tail step-up. PU/Poly.
6’9 x 20 ½ x 2 ⅝. (Dims written on stringer are not legible.)
Similar to Panda Shiitake and Christensen Wolverine, and the Tom Morat “Baby” from the Stab EAST with Harry Bryant.
Fantastic for mid-size to bigger days when you want more foam.
Fairly low rocker for fast paddling and early entry. Coupled with the slightly heavier glass job, the board has a lot of glide to get around the lineup and carry through mushier sections. Rails are refined but not knifey. The twin fins have a fast, flowy feel, and the longer rail is super smooth.
Beautiful honey-colored resin pigment. Hand shaped by Mangiagli (a great underground shaper in Hermosa Beach who’s boards can be found at Mollusk). Similar to the M3 model listed on his site: https://www.mangiaglisurfboards.com/.
I surfed this a bunch at pumping Sunset Cliffs and had a blast. It would be amazing at point breaks, too.
Perfect step up for someone who likes alternative boards.
