Groveller · Luke Young Shapes, Plymptonuncertain

A very short, wide, flat-rockered board for weak surf, with a deep single concave and a small trailer fin behind twin side fins. The maker suggests riding it much shorter and a little wider than a usual board, which is worth talking through with Luke.
