| 335380 | 20597 | Let's Talk About Eggs | 60 | hullogfish | Jan 17, 2025 | 2025-01-17T14:17:28-0500 | Eggs are super user friendly and with wide noses, paddle well. 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. Seenovision said: Who rides eggs and loves them? What shapers make your favorite eggs? What's a speed egg vs. 'regular' egg? Let's dig into it. I had an 8'0" Fineline egg I loved and won't shut up about on here. Have since moved onto Andreinis, notably a Vaquero which I guess is more of a Hull, but still egg-adjacent, right? I've been really eyeing boards in the 7'2" size. Some shapers/brands of eggs I'm curious about: Mitsven Gary Hanel Gordon & Smith (My buddy has a 7'6" he loves) THC Who else makes them and what should I expect/look for?
