Custom for Thomas
5'10"×18 1/2"×2 3/8" 28.5L

This model is called the Rabbit Heart and was tweaked for Thom's specific needs and the waves he surfs every day.
The Rabbit Heart has single into double concaves and a fuller deck profile making the board more forgiving and user friendly. The tail is bladed out for quick and critical turns.

The board came out great and goes like the wind. Thanks for the reference Greg!

Here he is with his 5'8"x20"x2 7/16" Performance twin. This design carries lots of volume and has just under 33L due to the flatter deck.
You can see Brendon surfing it in the previous post, watch this space as there is lots more to come!
