![]() ![]() the board feels positive in the barrel and can be ridden shorter as it moves the volume forward. Wrt widepoint ive done anywhere from 2 inches back to 3 inches forward and i like the look and feel of widepoint forward. i find i get my sweet outline with 3 points a lot quicker ![]() then open as a ghost and add a point to design the tail. When i design a squash etc tail board in the program i design it and save it as a rounded pintail first using 3 point only. get a good outline and use it a few times with different rockers etc and you will start to feel out what rocker does make a few boards that are pretty well the same and tune one or two things at a time like rocker entry and rails. my advice is if you diont know the design aspect is suposed to do then dont use it. i shape a deep single through to the tail when required. from my experience speed is mostly about volume and rocker. as yet no one has satifactorily proved to me that they make the board go faster. Ĭoncaves feel squirty and can offer a bit more control on steep faces. huie told me you cant really have to much tail rocker ina shortboard and i believe him 2 1/2 to 3 inches is great for snaps under the lip. but feel a bit slugish for snap cutbacks and also i catch rail on roundhouse cutbacks with wide tail boards. i find these wide tails boards are good for top to bottom surifng 80s style. however i do require a board to snap cutback under the lip so for this reason i pull the tails on all my outlines. i dont mind putting effort into turns and drawing them out. it would be easy to turn and in that respect my turn would be less drawn out with less power. ![]() but i would not enjoy surfing this kind of board. it would be a 6 6 by 19 with a rocker of about 5 5. i can ride a modern outline shortboard designed for my hight and ability. if your rocker entry is around 22 to 26 mm at the 12 inch mark you should be in the ballpark. i tend to ride boards my hight or less and prefer these sort of retro outlines. 5 1/4 is plenty for just about as hollow waves as you want. I keep my shortboard rockers around 4 1/2 to 5 depending on waves. a fish nose rocker can be as low as 3inches. fish have wider tails lower tail rockers and straiter rail in the tail and very different fin setup. ![]() A modern thruster can have a fish rocker entry but go nothing like a fish. i really didnt start making noiticeable inroads into speed tunning until i looked seriously at rocker entry in relation to surfers center of gravity and stance width. its hard to really work it out on a program as i shape it by eye and measure. Hi mike i have found over the years and i got this stuff from mike daniel, was to look at rocker entry more closely. If anyone happens to have copies of these that is willing to share that would be great! I have been working on a POD sort of design and something similar to the RNF, which I will submit soon! It's a very exciting era of surfing that we live in, despite the ever growing popuarity of the sport, and we all know there is nothing better than surfing that "magic" board! So if you have knowledge you would like to share, feel free to post your ideas on this thread! Look forward to seeing what you guys are working on! Off this topic, I offer accomodation to surfers that want to travel to South Africa. In specific I am interested in Designs similar to some of the Lost boards, such as the RNF, Monkfish, Rocket etc. I think this will be a great way for shapers around the world to share their knowledge with each other. I was wanting to start a platform on this site to exchange designs of surfboards designed on various sofware packages such as AKU shaper, Shape3D etc. New PDF printout for full sized printing for upandcomer and above subscribers.I am from Cape Town, South Africa.Soon the app and updates will be published automatically through the Mac App Store. STL and OBJ file format export for heavyweight subscribers.Use the 'a' and 'd' keys for keyboard use or the sliding dial. This offers the shaper the experience of seeing the board at eye level as it changes from nose to tail. Enhanced the 3D Bay to slide the board horizontally. ![]()
