Some of you have seen this board before at the Sacred Craft surfboard expo. It's John Cherry's take on the mini-simms concept. John calls it the Simms21, as in 21st Century Simmons. It's a crafty little board. It doesn't show in the photo but the deck has a slight low volume scooped step deck style nose. The bottom has double concave (for shredding), and of course, it features incredible wood fins handmade by Cherry himself. It's got a snazzy resin leash loop. Yellow resin tint by Gary Stuber. It's also got the old school Moon Frog logo, and that is the Factory 101 hand on there too. The Simms21 logo is a hand drawn pencil laminate by John. The polished gloss finish is icing on the cake.
5'10" length x 21 1/2" width x 2 1/2" thickness.
Handshaped back in June 2009 but never ridden. It's for sale down at Surfy Surfy Surf Shop if you want to visit it in person.
*this board is SOLD, thanks!
soooo sick! I am always amazed by the the boards you guys glass. John and Dave Yearwood, who makes killer fishees and such here where I live in NC, came up with a wooden fin similar to the one Dan Thomson has on his boards. Apparently it works pretty well!
ReplyDeleteYeah John!
ReplyDeleteA buddy of mine has one of these and really enjoys it.
ReplyDeleteUhmmmm....looks like my next board!
ReplyDeleteThanks JP! Dang there's a lot of YELLOW in those windows up there. It's so cool to have a great grass roots surf shop in our surf community again, especially one that is so complete and well done. Actually, even I, having surfed in the North county area since the 60's, was not aware of the cool historical connection that your Surfy Surfy building has, pre-LGB, to early North county shaping and board making until you showed and reminded me.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck and support Surfy Surfy.
If any of you out there haven't made it down there, you are in for a treat. Go find out what history I'm talking about.
PS: LOVE my new Hank Johnson ukulele from Surfy Surfy!
support your local surf shop!
Oh my. That is a thing of beauty.
ReplyDeleteI wish Surfy Surfy was my local shop...
