IMO, there is a sweet spot for wide noses where they paddle well, but aren't cumbersome is steep surf. The traditional San Diego nose width seems like a sweet spot( think: G&S, Mitsven) and to me where the speed egg begins. I have quite few eggy outline boards and with fin and bottom configurations ranging wildly, each board is quite different. On one end is the Mandala Cladestino, that thrives in paddling with its very full nose but doesn't lend itself to steep drops, it is a convex nosed board with a distinct feeling. Then, I have a bonzer 5 egg, fullish nose, concaves galore out the back, more of a "good wave" egg. Then, the Mccallum PDX which is eggy in appearance, but the nose is more fishy than eggy and can quite frankly be looked at like a shortboard for the non- shortboarder. My egg list: 8'1 Mandala Clandestino 7'10 Lovelace Thick Lizzy 6/6 Mccallum PDX 7'2 Bonzer 5 egg 7'6 Mccallum twin fin Kimbo egg. Think a big wave egg witha fullish nose and pulled in pin tail 6'8 Mandala hull/edgeboard stubbie/egg with a very full nose. oses Click to expand... Great insights. Which one do you go for the most? |
