Larger Wave Surfboards: Rawson 11’6 for big Makaha Point surf

Mike Coleman is an accomplished big wave rider, and his goal was to have an 11’6 Quad design that paddled extremely well into 20-25′ Makaha Point surf, but could still freely maneuver on the face as well. The board pictured is what we collaborated on at 11’6 x 23 1/2 x 4 3/8. Finished weight was about 23 lbs without fins for board momentum and wave penetration.
