Surf shots and the bare mini-mum

Couple of cool shots came in, first one is from our girl Izzy Walker surfing on the North Shore by Gil Hanada

 Second one is from our old friend Kyle Buthman in Nor-Cal by Ryan Craig. This one is part of a Surfline feature you can find HERE

Our buddy Greg wanted a Mini but dressed up like a normal shortboard, light glass and just a sanded finish. An all around board he can just throw in the trunk of his car. 

We added a quad setup to make it as versatile as possible... and then added another 5th fin that can be put in if extra traction is required in better surf. Seemed like a logical solution.

A nice deep double concave is not standard on the minis, but is added if the board will be surfed in good waves. This helps keep the tail from sliding around too much.

Lower, more shortboard-esk rails

Oh yeah. Rocket ship. :) I doubt Welzie's gunna let it out of the factory without some proper art with the pens though...
