What would you call this shape?

What would you call this shape and what kind of waves do you think it would work in?

It's 7'3" x 21" x about 2-3\4".

Appreciate any help or info.

I'm guessing there's a lack of a replies because it's not an easy question. Doesn't quite look like a funboard or minimal, or a mingun. I guess I'd say it looks a like a really really big guy shortboard. Probably would work in anything from the looks of it, maybe best suitied for waist to overhead.
Hope it works well, enjoy!

I would call that board a hybrid shape. I also have heard that shape called a big guy short board.

Hope you have fun!

It's a funboard.
It'll work on almost all waves, but will struggle on really steep stuff.

Duckdiving it will be a bugger too ;)
