Mirandon's trip on...




This is Eli Mirandon surfing a board he designed with his father Nick Mirandon,
inspired by Uncle Bear's side cut experiments circa 1970...a porpoise board.
Eli rides the board in a...shall we say...progressive manner. Aerials...whatever,
he can do anything on it.
He is shown here on 3/12/08 riding the left at Windansea where Nick watched Butch Van Artsdaalen
rip Al Nelson's 5'6" Simmons inspired balsa dual fin 50 years ago...
the evolution continues...if those lefts could talk.

Wow, super stoked you've got a blog going to share your experiences. Going to try Ians O's, Simmons board, that I've read so much about this weekend. Can't wait.

I wondered what the effect of the side-cuts does for the boards performance?
