The first surfy thing I saw in France. A stereotype to be sure. The next French surfer I met wasn't wearing a speedo and was an incredible logger.

5' 11" Mini Simmons hollow wood surfboard. You can make your own using our book and blueprints. Easy to build rail construction as much fun to build as they are to ride. See more at TimelessSurfCompany.com
As with all my boards, the core is made from found/re-used materials. It's 3# EPS foam from packing material, the stringer comes from an old bookshelf. The deck has a pretty radical S, thin tail, concave on the bottom and 50/50 rails (fairly thin, just short of bladed). Glassed with Resin Research Epoxy, 2 x 6oz s-glass on the bottom, 2 x 6oz + 6 oz patch on top.
A long paddle out to this famous spot. The paddle is more worth it on the big days (like yesterday and the day before).
With Pro-Box fins, 8" keels are installed in this picture. A set of mini-Simmons keels are on the way. Pro-Box has to be the easiest box to install, as simple as a center box.
