So at the beginning of lockdown I had itchy fingers to go back in the workshop (on my own). I hand shaped quite a few boards during those first weeks from conventional Pu foam, and then I was left with a lump of EPS. I've always found it quite frustrating that those surfers on 'soft boards' catch a lot of junk small waves but due to their rail and foil shape and fin configuration the boards just don't turn or perform very well. So why not make a board of high volume with a flat deck and fairly continuous thickness through the boards length, but importantly make the rails come down thinner more precise, with a modern bottom shape and proper fins.
Hence my first Bobby board, This one has triplane bottom shape; a concave runs down the center with 'V' coming off the sides to the rail. The deck is flat with chamfered rails which resemble a normal performance mid length but hide a lot of volume.
The rocker is pretty flat both nose and tail so the board will excel in small waves.

So here it is to be tried and tested, it has been hanging around since 2020 so there is no jeopardy in taking it our for a spin if you are not convinced of the concept. A few sessions of Polzeath slop may well change your mind.
