I want to shape a 6’7" or somewhere around there semi gun… any ideas on some demensions? thanks John
Hey Any chance we can find out your weight, height, surf experience, where you surf, fin config desired???
Your weight? I have quite a few dialed semi-guns, for North Shore Oahu and South Pacific. My 6’6s and 6’8s go 18 5/8 wide, 2 3/8 to 2 1/2 thick (I’m 170 lbs), 10 3/4 nose and 12 3/4 tail (12" up).
yah i way like 145 and im around 5’7… ive been surfing for around 4 years and i dont really know where ill be using this yet, wanted to make a travel board or somethign for bigger overhead days at home? maybe hurricane season, mainly i just want to experiment with the semi gun shape… and i wanted to do a tri fin, not single. thanks for the help John
Guys who I surf with of your dimensions often go thinner and narrower; 2 1/8 x 18 1/2 is probably a safe start, like LeeD said though, it depends on the wave and your abilities too. Try friends’ boards, even beaters, to help you get ideas on how much foam you need.
well if i try the demensions you gave me what would you use for the nose and tail??? Thanks John
