The tail is a rounded winged design to give a little more hold for the Twin or twin with trailer fin setup ( other fin set ups should be available when the board is released for order). The nose is taken straight fro the Thing only a slimmer version so you go shorter when you order this board, ideally if you normally ride a 6ft then maybe a 5ft10&#8243; or even 5ft8&#8243; will do. All in all we are pretty impressed with the new Squid as you can see by the image of Chris surfing it does exactly what was intended. The new Squid should be available to order by September 2023 but if your interested in a Custom Squid then drop me a line on\u00a007789764475 or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndsurfboards.co.uk\/?page_id=1295\">Contact Us<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_49455\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndsurfboards.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Squid-Surfboard.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49455\" class=\"size-full wp-image-49455 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ndsurfboards.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Squid-Surfboard.jpg\" alt=\"Planning hull surfboards UK\" width=\"800\" height=\"676\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ndsurfboards.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Squid-Surfboard.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ndsurfboards.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Squid-Surfboard-300x254.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ndsurfboards.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Squid-Surfboard-768x649.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/676;\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-49455\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The new Squid surfboard prototype, this is a 5ft9&#8243; planning hull design<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New Squid Surfboard a dynamic planning hull but can it replace the Thing?
