Classic Mini Simmons Design
The Mini Simmons draws inspiration from the early planing-hull experiments of Bob Simmons. Known for their compact outlines, generous width, and efficient speed generation, Mini Simmons surfboards offer a distinctive alternative to conventional performance shortboards.
This 5'8 Mini Simmons combines a short length with a generous 21 3/4" width, creating a platform that emphasizes flotation, glide, and smooth transitions between turns.
Compact Length with Generous Width
At 5'8" x 21 3/4" x 2 1/2", this surfboard offers substantial width in a relatively compact package. Its dimensions may provide useful flotation and paddling assistance compared with narrower shortboards of similar length.
The exact volume is not listed. Surfers should consider the board's dimensions, outline, and their personal volume preferences when determining the appropriate fit.
Traditional Glass-On Twin Fins
This Mini Simmons features a glass-on twin-fin configuration, giving it a classic alternative surfboard setup.
Twin fins are known for their speed, flowing turns, and smooth rail-to-rail transitions. Combined with the Mini Simmons design, they offer a distinctive surfing experience focused on glide and natural speed generation.
Unlike removable fin systems, glass-on fins are permanently laminated into the surfboard. They cannot be swapped out like conventional Futures or FCS fins.
Polyester Construction
This Mini Simmons features traditional polyester construction, offering the familiar feel of a conventionally glassed surfboard.
Polyester construction complements the board's classic alternative design and remains popular among surfers who appreciate traditional fiberglass surfboard craftsmanship.

Who Is This Mini Simmons For?
This 5'8 Mini Simmons is worth considering for surfers who appreciate alternative surfboard designs and want something different from a conventional performance shortboard.
Its generous width, compact length, and twin-fin configuration may appeal to intermediate and experienced surfers who prioritize natural speed, smooth trimming, and flowing turns.
Mini Simmons designs are often enjoyed in smaller, softer waves, where their generous planing area can help maintain speed through flatter sections. Actual performance depends on the individual board's rocker, bottom contours, and fin placement.
