The "Gidget Model" is designed for surfer girls.  It's like what the big guys ride except it's shorter, thinner, and narrower, eliminating the fat flotation that surfer girls don't need, thus making it an easier riding and more maneuverable surfboard.  It is 8' long, 21 1/2" wide, 18" nose, 2 1/2" thick, 13 1/2" hips.  It has a 4 1/2" square tail.  It is shaped with 50/50 Egg Rails with extra kick in the nose and in the tail.  It has a 1/2" Balsawood center stringer with red glue lines with a Spruce and Redwood tail block.  It has fiberglass protective bumper beads that virtually eliminates nose and tail dings.  Pink Resin Pinlines border the curvy yellow color design.  It's laminated with two layer of 7 1/2 oz. fiberglass on the deck, one layer of 7 1/2 oz. fiberglass on the bottom. Glossed and Polished.  Built Using Superior  "Clark Foam" blanks.  Beautiful "Rainbow" fin included.  There are l0 more pictures following this listing.  Don't miss seeing all of them.  There is also another "Gidget Model" available in pink with red resin pinlines.  Check it out and other Bitchin' stuff in my eBay store.
