works quite well can pop shuv-it don't know about kick flips could be a bit wide
120cmx50cm with 40cm tips
is quite weighty but doesn't blow away in the wind like my skimy does

up date on light wind wakeskate made another one with 25mm rocker in the tips and only 46 wide no fins . worked heaps better but still goes upwind quite well and can use it like a skimmy across the shallows , can be a bit of a hand full in the chop but if you can keep an edge not to bad .new next to old
