My go to short board "The Hijinx"

I would say my favorite boards have been Wisdom surfboards and the board I surf the most is called the Hijinx. This board is much shorter than your average surfboard, mine is only a 5'7, but Mark designed it that way so surfers can perform some of the most progressive maneuvers today. This board has allowed me to push my surfing because it is so agile and maneuverable on the wave. My past boards have felt somewhat difficult to really push on waves because they just don't do what I want them to do. With my Hijnx, anything I think of is possible on a wave. When the wave walls up and is ready to close out you can do the biggest layback turn imaginable on this board and it stays right under your feet. The Hijinx also allows me to generate a ton of speed on the wave because it has a rather flat rocker in it. The tail is also a little bit wider on this board in order to let the fins release a little bit more when you really push into the tail. This board is made for big maneuvers and progressive new school surfing and is by far my favorite board so far. (and I have had a lot of boards)
