Ready to roll!! Left is "the fat" and right is "the trad".
Xavier Breteau
the trad is 12" wide, the fat is 16" same lengh 4'
Hey Elijah, the "Fat" is 120 x 35. I tried 40, and personally I use the "trad" which makes it 120 X 30. But I can manufacture according to the dimensions indicated to me, they are all made of Okoume plywood in 12mm thick. keep me in the loop!

New Set!

Cool one Xavier!, I have a sweet taste for those fish tails on paipos, as they add more drive and control, once you are riding you can feel when the side tail engages into the wave, giving a nice feeling of maneuverability
Xavier Breteau
Flaix De Cola 100% agree!

Most of the time, i ride finless bellyboard, but once in a while,(mostly in winter) when waves get hollow and powerful, i need more drive and speed in the turns. Those two side fins keeps the board from sliding sideways and then hold the line better.
