I haven't measured mine but I am not sure Mal's bonzers principles are applicable..... He has been refining his bonzers for nearly 50 years!
I can get a bonzer feel on my Lizzy with the set up & tri plane hull bottom but it isn't the full bonzer experience.
I got this Soar 2 + 1 setup for my cruiser and they have these beautiful little side bites.
I think Surfblanks sell little sides as well. Some people really like them if you are looking for something a bit different but don't want to go the whole hog sort of thing.
It's all personal preference I think.
The centre is 7.75 with small sides.
The Soar fins are really well made and beautiful.
I would highly recommend.
Surfed the 7'7" on the rip bowl today... Pretty fun again... But took the Bonzers out, I need to adjust them as they don't quite fit flush with the board in the box... And I still doubt that I need them.. Anyways... Need to experiment still so...
Here's Ryan's thoughts on the Bonzers and why he likes em...

A quick question, always rode shortboard/hybride.
I'm only surfing a few times a year now when I travel(14 hrs from coast).
Intermediate surfer, can pump a board, surf front and backside.
Tried a funboard mid-lenght, did not liked it. Try a good longboard(9'0") quite LIKED IT!
what is the main advantage of going with a good mid-lenght vs a good longboard? Question probably don't make sens, I might wait until my next trip to take a decision on the next board that I gonna buy. thanks.
