This is a video found on Korduory.tv that is a prime example of how much fun it can be to experiment with boards. Critter Baugh broke the tail off of his standard thruster between the side and trailing fins, and decided to glass the tail back up as is and keep surfing it. I'm sure he is one of those guys who can make surfing a the coffee table look fun, but i doubt he would be out on a day this good if he didn't really enjoy the ride.
When they show the board at the beginning of the video I can't help but think of the Mini Simmons boards that are gaining a strong following. The wide blunt tail with the fins out on the rail and all the way back seems to be working for surfers these days.
Here is the video and a Mini Simmons "bar of Soap" to compare.
