Hunter Gatherer...why am I shaping so many shortboards lately?

The latest. Something a bit more familiar. Had this idea for a longtime and seeing some of creations from Kookbox and JW made me finally want to make it. First Layer of glass. 6oz+ 4oz deck patch 3/4 up from the nose and a 6oz layer on the bottom. I want this thing to go fast and be able to turn by shifting a toe. I kept the board flat, with almost no nose rocker because Mr. Popp says the worst thing on a single fin shorty/midlength is when they have "a stupid banana nose" ..and I agree with him. 6'4''x 19 3/4'' x 3in'' x 15 1/8'' x 12 1/2'' Can't wait to take this thing out!

Calling this the Hunter Gatherer. Not really for the sake of being clever in that it'll probably catch waves easy, but mainly for the lam. A guy I once knew had this idea to get a dear and a bear tattooed on each arm oriented this way. I always thought that would be awesome, so I drew it up real fast how I thought it should look. Anyway...already got a tattoo where the dear would go on my left arm, so here it is on a board.
