Believe the hype.

Agree, Nice one two punch!

What a day.  I wasn't even thinking of going out because it's pretty flat out with 1-2 footers.  Went out and I'm glad I did.  Super glassy and clean out with incredible water visibility.  Was catching wave after a wave with a few small 2 footers actually peaking pretty good.  One in particular generated some good speed.  The board was pumping down the line and coasting on the upper peak of the wave.  Felt like I was 12 year old on a skim board.  Crazy how well it works on these waves and how much fun you can have with such little wave. 
At one time I was thinking of getting me a big board for smaller days.  This takes care of that.
As for the bigger days, I've gotta admit, the Infinity Blurr will be my go to board.  However we have more smaller days than bigger. 
Not saying that the SIMSUP is for smaller waves, because it's not, just saying my Blurr craves those bigger waves.

I just finished a session at the reef. A guy was on an Infinity Simms. 7'0"x30x4.5"

A bit too wide and thick. Board has Pro-Box twin fins. He was having fun. I like the look of yours, Boludo.

[Boludo]

CS,

You need to try it.  A lot of fun.  Yeah I really like this board because the tail and nose are really thinned out which helps it surf well and getting through white water is a breeze because there is not so much volume on the nose where it would usually kick back hard. I will be out at my usual spot around 9am if you want to give it a try.  Another 1-2 foot day out.

Will do.  I'll check the weather, mañana.

Those Infinity Simmons boards are really wide and REALLY thick... not quite my cup of tea... I am sure that Dave B would shape a smaller version for the rippas in North SD County! 

Can't wait to try Boludo's board... Boludo, you should charge a user fee... you will be able to make up a significant bit of the initial cost.

Look at you.  Always thinking.  I can respect a good business mind. 

I'd love to see Dave B. thin them out more.  Maybe he already has?

[JeanG]

Think I read something somewhere about Infinity working on a V2 of their Simmons.

Hopefully just another couple of weeks for my own board to arrive from King's.

Ran into Boludo in the water today, board looks awesome. Water visibility was insane.

[Boludo]

JeanG,
Was good meeting you.  I look forward to seeing you on your new board soon.

Dave and Rhonda were demo'ing the King's Simmons on Sunday. I didn't get a chance to ride it, but the guy who was out at the same time as me was having a good time on it.  The King's version isn't very thick and not very wide, but it does have the wide, square tail.  However, it is fully custom, so you could modify the dimensions according to your own taste.  I really like the look of the kevlar layer, would like to see how that would work on their crossover model.

Hey all,
The V1 of Phoenix by Infinity was based off
the original Simmons design just blown up
and is user friendly because of the width and thickness
but as stated Dave will thin them out because they
are custom
I have attached a pic of the V2 of the Phoenix as I like a
thiner board also and much thinner rails.
Don't let the fullness of the V1 fool you though
it easily goes rail to rail via the twin fins but not so
loose it loses drive , I'm stoked Dave embraces the twin
fin it's a great set up when done correctly
Also the V1 was designed based on East Coast conditions
which means chop and wind most of the time so stability
is important
Will have more pics of V2 when I get it as its at glassers

What effect does the fin-base angle have on a mini-sim? 

I've noticed some run parallel while others have significant toe-in. I would think for speed, say a fast beach-break I would want as little drag from the fins as possible without significant slip so a parallel set-up seems to makes sense to me.

SL , Guys like you are in that small elite percentage that ride thinner boards my friend, but guys like me who are coming from bigger boards to smaller boards need alittle thicker and wider which are the masses for the stability factor. Yet we don't want to be on boards 32" or wider and go thicker than 4 1/2" which are unstable, because now you are sitting to high on the water. As I have noticed with my 8.50 Phoenix like in the pic below for the first time. Infinity has found the sweet spot for stability and performance in the V1 model. But I won't be riding the V2 model like Chill posted earlier. 

[PilonSUP]

Hey guys,all this talk got me goin.
Shaped a 7'7"x 29"-19"3/4 tail last night out of the middle of an 11' blank i had .
Any pointers on fin placement? "Parallel to 1/16" toe and cant" is that @12"T/E?
And the rears??
I would like to ride it as a twinie (traditional) but going 5 boxes.
I think it could be fun as single fin  .Guess im old school..lol
thx up front..

[PilonSUP]

Thanks larry.
I've been riding a fish (twin) and like the feel of it .
I"ll post the mini when its done.
Rdistributing carry your stuff?
