Just picked it up this morning after my surf session.
6'0" X 22" x 3" - Short and Stout. 
Scaled down version of my 7'2" Dyna-Glyde. This one is EPS/epoxy so it's super-light. 5 fin boxes for versatility. 6 subtle channels for added squirt around turns.
After seeing the deck of theROOSTER's Dyna-Glyde glowing up all of the custom boards that were on Wayne's rack at his factory, I knew I had to have this color for my next EPS board. This color is the brightest green I've ever seen. I have lots of fluorescent green boards, but this one is blinding bright. If you spot me in the lineup, stop and say "hi". 
Floaty boards are bad, why?

Much Aloha to Wayne Okamoto (Oak Foils) for creating me some of the best shapes I've ever ridden!

Stubster,
Nice board! Love the bright green color. Makes me wish I went with color on my Stubby DG. Report back with an update after you get a few sessions in.

a STUBBY for STUBSTER!!! 
you can thank the M$ Xbox 360 for the color, that's whereI drew my "inspiration" from, ha ha 
LOVE all the fin combos(As with mine)..... let me know how that tail pad works out - I've been considering setting up one for my DG, after numerous efforts to REALLY plant my back foot. I saw a cut-down one recently that I may try to emulate, nixing most of the pad itself in lieu of the "nub" at the back.... 
SERIOUS STOKE man, really sweet!!

+2 Wayne is amazing -- I've seen that shape scaled and work well at 9' and now 6'. There's so much going on there that isn't easily apparent -- rocker tweaks, fin configs, balance of volume between the nose, mid and tail. Really nice work.
Stoked for you!

Great board- Just did the same idea with my mini egg(5 boxes)One board and a bag of fins to play with at the beach. The twin set up with no trailer is best so far for me.Stellar color spray and design

I was going to say that the template reminds me of an Ambrose Sputnik (albeit rounder/wider nose), but the thickness and rocker are as different from that as can be.
If you like the twin, one other fin combo to consider is the smaller twin fin w/long board sidebites (SB1) in a quad setup.

So why a 6' stubby? What will it offer you over the 7'2" ? I'm curious as I have a shot at getting Wayne to make me one, but now I've seen too many verions posted!
I'm trying to get my head round the choices behind the different variants of this quiver killer! Does the 7'2" kill more than the 6' or does the 6' offer something you're not getting with the 7'2" ???? 
I thought it was a simple choice when ordering up a DG....
But really effing beautiful work.

Stubster, Love the Pickleman, your DG actual thickness is 3.35”. One of the reasons why most all Dyna-Glydes are made with EPS/Epoxy is the freedom in design I can achieve with using a solid piece of EPS foam. I have been working with Daron Story from White Hot Foam who has been hot wiring custom top and bottom rockers to custom specs for me. At this time the Dyna-Glyde proportions are extremely unique ie, there are no poly blanks available short of using longboard blanks and dealing with enormous waste. One of the problems I am having are that designs are changing and evolving at a rapid rate for me at this time most poly blank pugs are becoming obsolete.
The impetus behind the Dyna-Glyde has been about maximum lift and buoyancy with out loosing performance in all around general everyday surf we have in most areas. This allows the rider to utilize much fuller contours with out adding weight. In essence the board rides much smaller than the dimensions suggest. With the unique bottom contours combined with the marriage if a progressive bottom rocker along with a completely opposing type of deck rocker makes the Dyna-Glyde a completely different shape in terms of genre. Along with the convertible 5-fin set up allows one to an added dimensional quality for differing conditions.
At the moment I am now working on a new series of Bryd-Fishes utilizing the Dyna-Glyde rockers and volume formulas.
I also have in the works some new Longboards that will be unique in genre, (not trad or modern.)
Keep an eye out

I thought it was a simple choice when ordering up a DG....
But really effing beautiful work.
None of the DGs that come out of the Oak Foils factory are identical. Oak Foils is a true custom shop. Each board is made specifically for each individual rider. All of the rocker templates are custom made for each person. That is why his boards are unique and really work.
The DG surfs like a board that is much shorter, but paddles like a board that is much bigger. My 7'2" is my quiver killer. For you or somebody else, it may be bigger or shorter, depending on your size/weight/surfing abilities/the breaks you surf/etc...
When you're ready to order one, Wayne will give you his recommendations.
The reason I ordered this 6'0" stubby is to take out during the summer when I don't want to over dominate the lineup with my 7'2". Since these boards surf shorter, the 6'0 is very skatey, like a waveskate. When wegosurf ordered the first stubby in 6'2", I had the opportunity to try his out. At 6'2", it rode like my 5'4" waveskate. I'm anxious to try out the 6'0". It is probably going to surf like a 5' board. I may have to fin it bigger so it stiffens it up a little, but the bigger fins will also provide more drive. When people see the board in the lineup, it'll just look like a small shortboard. What they won't see is the volume this little stubby packs. This board will paddle into waves like a much bigger board, very easily and early. Would you rather be on a standard shortboard or fish and catch a few waves or be on the stubby and catch tons of waves? When it gets crowded during the summer, it can get pretty frustrating when everybody is paddling for the same waves. This one will have that extra advantage. 
If you're looking for a daily driver, I would recommend something like my 7'2", which is great for all conditions (knee high to whatever you're comfortable paddling into). Tons of drive, really light, surfs short. Don't be afraid of the volume of this board. I was shocked when I first got mine. After my first session, it became my all-time favorite board for all conditions. This board paddles really well when we get strong currents. The only bad thing is that this board is a mutha trying to duck dive when it gets HH+, but it has its rewards. It paddles into the waves easily and early and it's stable as hell so steep drops are not as intense.
When you're ready to order, Wayne will give you his recommendations. Go with what he recommends. You will be glad you did.

Can't wait to hear how it rides.
BTW, it is BRIGHT green, but there might be a kneeboard up at the Shores that is brighter green. Can you see yours a mile down the beach?

Brighter green?!?!? Is that possible? 
I'll provide a ride report once I take this bad boy out later this week once all the rain stops. I'll have to play around with tons of fin combinations to find the set that makes this board go off for me without feeling over skatey.

Fruitbison,
I currently own 3 Dyna Glydes; an 8'3", 7'2" and the stubby 6'2".
The 7'2" is really all I needed since it really could be ridden any day regardless of the size but there were a few days when it was small and all the longboarders were hogging all the waves with all their extra foam. They could sit out further and get in earlier so they would be on the wave as I tried to catch it. This frustrated me to the point that I went to Wayne and asked for a bigger DG and that's how my 8'3" X 22" X 3 3/8" came about. Since Wayne scans all the surfboards he makes he was able to take my 7'2" and stretch it out to an 8'3" and add some thickness, because of this, aside from the added length, both boards ride almost identical. The 8'3" could literally replace a 9' longboard as it paddles just as well, if not better and catches waves just as easily. My 6'2" Stubby was designed as my summertime mess around board replacing my CI Biscuit. With the 5 fins boxes I can ride it as a twin, thruster, quad or five fin. Each different fin configuration noticeably changes the handling characteristics.
When you talk to Wayne about ordering your DG, just tell him what you want to achieve out of the board and he will dial you in.

stubster - hows the pickle working out for you so far with the different fins setups?
I've had the board out a handful of times a couple of weeks ago when we had some swell activity, in everything from waist to HH conditions. Most of the sessions were trying to find a fin combo that would work for me. Some were way too squirrelly and beyond skatey.
The first session was the adjustment session. I was coming off riding a 9'6" longboard due to the lack of swell previously. So when I got on this 6' stubby, it felt small and the wrong fin combo made it feel really out of control. 
After swapping out lots of fins, the best combo for me are VFT1 512s with 375 rears as a quad. I tried the setup with 340 rears, which gave it a little more looseness; probably good for up to chest high. It felt a little too loose on HH waves. Once I switched out the rears to 375s, it felt really good. If I want to stiffen it up a little more, then I can go with 400 rears.
The Rainbow Canard cutaway (speed dialers) felt really good also, but the 512s seem to have a little more drive as well as being able to fine-tune it more with 340, 375, 400 rears.
The board paddles really well, like a board of a much bigger size. Sometimes I have a difficult time trying shove the stubby under the wave when trying to duck dive since it's way more buoyant than you would imagine. It paddles into waves easily, it's very stable upon takeoff, super responsive, like a waveskate. It surfs backside extremely well. The board is so light, you can just easily toss it around if you want. The board has tons of drive; unlike a waveskate or a biscuit where you need a little punch behind the waves to get them going.
I went back to longboarding again since I picked up a custom 9'3" high performance longboard the other week and the waves have become small once again. Hopefully I'll have the pickle back out this weekend. There should be some swell activity coming.
It's a really great board. It'll be one of my main boards in rotation this summer. Super stoked the way it rides and performs.

great update - sounds like you've got your fins dialed in. i've only had 3 quads and never felt 'em other than a borrowed speeddialer (but only when the beachbreak is lined up good). i wonder how the DG would go as a single or 2+1 on mediocre days, especially as a light EPS to throw around. has wayne made a short one as a single? i thought i saw someone's 8'? that had a quad + 1.

stupid question;
what's the difference between the RFC "Speed Dialers" and
the Futures Stretch Quads?(performance differences...of course)
I finally got a Stretch "Fletcher" quad, and am curious about
different fins for it.
very nice "pickle" btw!

I don't think Wayne has made the DG stubby as a 2+1 setup yet, which would be incredibly fun. I think the 5 Future boxes offer much more versatility for a shorter board.
theROOSTER has the 8' DG, which is a 4+1 (the pickle got the color from the deck of his board). I have a 7'2" DG, which is also a 4+1. This is where the stubby originated from.
I ride my 7'2" as a single when the waves are semi-hollow and fast, the board flies in the pocket. As a DD, I like it as a quad.

The RFC Canards work on my quad fish when the waves are bigger; tons of drive! On regular days, they feel too stiff. Stretch Quads feel great in all conditions.
In the stubby, the Stretch quads were way too skatey since the board surfs like a board much shorter. The board needs to be finned a little bigger. The RFC Canards feel really good without being over skatey, probably because they stiffen the board up a little, which compensates for it being over skatey.
On a shortboard or fish, the Stretch quads are good for most people. I tend to like the VII Quads more on my boards to loosen it up a little. Stretch Quads are 439 fronts with 400 rears. The VII Quads are 438 fronts with 375 rears. I've tried the Stretch 439 fronts with 375 rears and it didn't feel right.

At the time I designed and shaped the stubby it was before the trend. There were no blanks available to accommodate this shape correctly. Stoked that poly blanks are now available! Wegosurf just ordered one in poly. StOaked to revive this shape esp in poly as this shape should be.
