A 7 footer

I am going to shout a mate a new board , he has just moved into the area and used to surf. he is is mad as a hatter and wants to surf the local reefs. he is 5’9 5’10 90kg and 41 . I reackon 7’0 x 19&1/2 x 2&5/8. I’ll go a bit retro and drop a beak into it and run of the mill slight double to spiral vee. a pinny round pin of coarse. Use a burford 7’5 k I think or 7’3 won’t matter. 6&4 on the deck and 6 underneath. Any more suggestions.

Bit of help here people, It won’t be tested on animals.

if he “used” to surf a little more length and volume? 7’6" x 20" x 2 5/8"???

Well… I tend to not go narrower than 20 inches wide on 7 foot boards, so if it were me I’d probably add 3/4" at the WP.

And I’d make it red, so it would be faster…

Hey mate , im similar dims to that bloke, and keen to build an all round shortboard x funboard. Thruster shape, but longer ( 6’10’’ ) and around 20’’ wide, also a round pin. I’d be keen to hear what your final dims are, and of course see any pics. I was thinking of a fungun, but, really, at biggest i dont surf big waves ( 6’, bit bigger if fat ), so i don’t think i need anything gunny, and i want something i can ride in the everyday crap too.

Mate, I just recently did a board for a mate who pretty much fits youre mates stats…

It’s 7’0 x n=13 1/2 wp 20 1/4 @ 1/2 way t=14 1/2…round pin.

Bottom…flat to spiral vee…glass on hand layed fins @ 3 1/2 + 11.4.

He loves it and I did too…would love to get this photo posting sorted but I’m

still @ the full kook stage with computers…

Question for you…havent used a Burford for years now and can’t find a website for them,

Whats the max. width @ wide point and nose @ 12"" you can get out of the 7-3 and 7-6 ?

thanks…

I ride 20 wide at 100 kgs . on a 7’0 x20 x 2&3/4. so I thought a fractin narrower. he isn’t going to ride ball usting barrels all the time so a bit wider than I thought yeah. He’s really fit /crazy.so he will pick surfing up again quickly.

I usualy get 20 to 20&1/4 out of a 7’3 .Burford phone number 0755343777.

Length wise If he went 7’6 I feel he would be a wave hoggin arsehole .

I actually tought 6’10 but 7 foot is the size I like . got a good ring to it.
