Tom Hoye's 5 stage vortex bottom works a treat in solid to huge waves. Vee or very subtle concave (very very subtle) into flat into single into vee with a very subtle double running out through the tail. He also puts very subtle chines on the rails, almost imperceptible. If it didn't take a year to get a board off him I would be ordering a 9'6" off him.

Double 6 glass I take it?
