THE LITTLE BIG ZAPPA 
6.0 X 21 ¾ X 2 13/16

This is the perfect big guy’s small wave board. I have had it under guys over 6.4 and 100 kilos and they still manage to be wave pigs. The fused pellet polystyrene again a big feature in this board, and in this file there is plenty of it- almost 40 litres, enough to float the whole family. The “Little Big” even though it has some meat on the stringer has lowish rails to compensate the corkiness of the EPS foam. With a bees dick over 4” in nose lift and with that 15 ¼” nose a meat head could paddle this with his index fingers. The Zappa pulled in tail gives it a drivable tail in thruster mode, especially with a bigger guy dominating it. Again as a quad it has all the attributes for a ten ton Tessie to get the thing up and running where the wave lacks power.

The shear extreme width and thickness in this board automatically gives it extra lateral strength, so much so, the board could do without a stringer to keep it lighter and more flexible.

The glass is again diagonal 4x4x4 just to be sure as well as some carbon strips to keep it flexing too much. The top strips are set diagonally to add extra strength but not to stiffen the flex too much.
This board has the power base boxes and will perform better with their ceramic fins that have no base roll and a very tensile tip that can deliver more reach.

I know there are plenty of short thick boards on the market aimed at this type of customer but this one WILL perform, so if you’re a guy that refuses to give up on your burgers but still knows how to surf- this board will forgive you!
