Long Simmons Surfboard – Sea Monster
The Sea Monster is a Hand Crafted Long Simmons, Twin Fin surfboard design. It is available to order as a Custom Board from 7ft6″-9ft. This design is an inspired shape taken from Bob Simmons 50s Twin Fin boards. However i have put my own spin on it to suit our UK waves. It’s very fast and surprisingly loose as you carve it off the tail. Very early entry rocker for early take off takes a little getting used to, but ounce sorted your Flying.
The board rides well in 1ft waves to about head high and it can handle steep waves but that does take a bit of practice. If you are after a Custom Board that is very different from the Normal Summer Longboard then this Simmons is definitively worth the extra effort.

Sea Monster Features
The shape is an elongated version of the Mini Simmons with a slightly pulled in nose for better dynamics as the board rides off the tail. The tail is a wide Squash tail fitted with a set of Hand crafted Simmons Keel Twin Fins that i will shape myself to suit your Custom Board. The Surfboard Rocker is Lowered with a staged flattish middle section this glides the board over flat waves and makes takeoff friendly.
The rails are pinched compared to a Mini Simmons this helps bury the railwhen the board is longer and increases maneuverability. Bottom contours are Hulled nose leading to a V bottom deck with a single channel from 2/3 up to out of the tail. The top deck is foiled to the rear with a slight S deck in the nose helping you ride off the back foot.

Order something different for a change, compared to most normal shapes the Long Simmons will blow your mind once you are used to it. The sheers speed and looseness down is far more exciting than riding a Log. As a Surfboard enthusiast this shape encapsulates everything the early surfers found captivating about Surfing. These designs from a long time ago still out perform most modern surfboard today.
