The "MicksTape-SYM ": A completely symmetrical version of Stab's 2022, #ElectricAcidSurfboardTest winning board, as chosen by Mick Fanning. For anyone wary of asymmetric boards but still interested in the overall performance of the original #MicksTape. A big part of why the shapers at ...Lost made the original an Asym was the knowledge that the "Test" would take place in typically powerful, high-season, Maldivian waves.
With the task of designing a sub-5'3" board for this kind of wave, Donald Brink and Matt Biolos guessed that a little less surface area on the heel side would help. It did...But for everyday surf, they felt a standard swallow was a simple solution. Similar to the typical swallow, but with an inverted inside bend, the smooth flow of the "Gull" tail, is reminiscent of the original #MicksTape.
Designed to be much shorter than your standard short boards, but choose a length that suits the kind of width and volume you feel comfortable on and push yourself to fit into new parts of the wave. Just like Mick showed us how.
The #MicksTape-SYM is essentially the same board in every way except for the last few inches of tail outline, delivering the same high performance and diminutive package as the asymmetric version, but with an easy-to-understand tail, for all traditionalists.
