Function

Simmons: boards that perform very well in practically all conditions due to their natural speed but excel in average mushy waves.

Introduction

The mini Simmons concept revisited by l’Ours. Wide board, extra wide tail, concave on the bottom in the back and convex under the nose.

The volume, the glide, early take offs… the ingredients for a perfect board in average waves. It’s a board that gambles evrything on the planing, so you get a board strong with rebound and that passes through the sections like nothing. The feeling of this board is demonic; you can surf the rails with finesse AND power at the same time, the speed is crazy!!! The maneuverability will surprise you as much as its handling in more serious waves.

This is the GONG version of Simmons concept. A super wide tail with a deep concave in the back on the bottom and a convex belly under the nose. The board is super fast, even on very slow waves. You think it’s going to be hard to turn? Give it a try and you will be totally amazed!!! Surfing a Simmons is a full-on experience of a global concept based on natural speed. The best tool for small surf.

It’s THE board, quick , compact and surprisingly maneuverable in smaller waves.

Ideal Waves

Size: ankle to head high waves.
Strength: at its best in normal/average waves.
Type: all conditions.

In a nutshell

Rocker: tight for maximum speed in smaller waves.
Rails: hard at the tail and rounded off at the nose marrying with the convex belly for a smoother feeling.
Volume : generous without excess for early take offs and mad performance in small average waves.
Outline: very large at tail, and center with a medium/high wide point close to that of a longboard. The board carries hard and flys acrosss the water.
Tail: square tail extra large for immediate planning.
Nose: round point nose convexed under tip, avoids slapping and paddles fast.
Deck: slightly domed to conserve thinner rails and flat at center for control.
Bottom: big concave at tail for maximum control and bowed/convexed at nose for supple handling at high speeds.
Fins: twin fin.

How to properly glue your pads?

The question of the pad often comes down to an aesthetic choice for the look of your board. But what seems like luxury to non-pros is actually a huge help.
If surfing is the art of placement then you need to put your feet properly on the board. And what better than a touch marker to know, ok, I’m at the sweet spot for this turn.?

Sticking good pads is therefore essential. They will signal to your feet whether they are in the perfect position or not.
You still have to stick them properly, and some get very creative…
