7'0'' x 25 1/4 x 4 1/2

supperson .

what kind of conditions can you use this board in, does it need to be calm and glassy,
do you use another board for more choppy conditions?

Kruut,

Any more info on that 5'11"?  That seems insanely short.    Interesting for sure, as most places here won't allow a board longer than 6'8" on the planes/ferries, so it would be good for travel/wife's board.

Thanks,

j

That looks like a really fun board.  I haven't seen any of those around here yet.  I'd love to try one.  Do they have a similiar size with a more pulled nose?  Post a few more pic's if you can, I'd like to see the rocker and the deck.

Wow! Just noticed this thread...
Some interesting boards in there - I want to test drive them all.
Patrice's 5'11" Proto1 might have looked strange but it sets a benchmark for microSUP (amazing, bro - I want to see more)!

Here is a pic of my 6'11" microSUP shaped by Jorge Mora of Sick Surfboards:

Man. I am still just trying to wrap my brain around that one...

I will say that just because it is different does not mean that it is wrong.

Evolution of design is based on experimentation - no risk, no gain.

I might add that breakthroughs tend to be met with a great deal of resistance.

I, for one, would jump on an opportunity to take it for a spin!

I love it.  It's awesome to see guys pushing the sub 8' envelope.  I can't wait to see what they come up with next.  Too bad I'm 200 lbs or I'd be all over one of those little guys.

The Gong shaper, wearing the camera in the movie above, Patrice Guénolé (aka l'Ours - The Bear) weights 230 pounds! (104kg) and is based in Corsica with a lot of small gutless waves. So big guys can ride short boards. He is shaping me a 6'8" (I am 220lbs) and in the meantime I am practicing on a production Gong Nanogene 7'7" (the red one, compared to the windsurf-oriented Sealion in the pictures) to hone my paddling skills for it.

Of course short SUPs must not be your only board, but they can be very fun in some conditions. If you have them thick enough for your weight they are not too difficult.

200lb++ is no match for the Naish 7'9'' Actually first time I took it out I thought I had made a mistake buying the board, and that I would sink, but had no problem...I caught my first wave before ever even falling off the board.

A 5' must be really thick...
