A big quad

But I have already tried to put a little step ahead, but she doesn´t move faster

instead of that… se looses manouver…

What I´m searching is a big board to stay stable, real faster (by herself), capable of getting big or small waves and a good manouver (better then a longboard),…

From this board I have already the manouver that I wanted e seriously she´s good at that, but I want more speed.

let´us say that I wanted almost a gun wit 8´ by 21" by 2 3/4", for ex. (this one is 22")

Shell I put more rocker???

If so, what the measurements???

this part I need help…

??? went to surf???

Luis, Your search for the holy grail for perfect boards is a nobel one but you ask for too much. What you have now is basically a fun board shape and my suggestion mixes your shape and semi gun.

I say again, Just by moving your center wide point forward to the nose 5 cm, taking 2,5cm off the tail width( 30 cm up) and flattening the deck a bit will give you a board of equal volume but way different performance. Use tracing paper over your computer of the bottom shot of your board and see for yourself.

regarding rocker, more will not necessarily be your friend. I think your rocker is fine for the waves you show, maybe a 2 cm increase in nose flip from the wide point. Later take offs and a split second more to get situated for your ride. My best wave catching machine has a low rocker profile. I can catch waves 10 meters further out compared to my heavier rockered gun.

Finally, looking at your pics, staying higher in the wave can optimize your chance to get deeper in the pocket and staying higher can also be the reserve parachute when you need gravity to give you the speed you seek.

Good answer ! I like it, thank you.

now I´m going to make a few designs and I will apeear with the board I want to see your opinion.

Again, thank you

it’s not he board, it’s the beard…shave your beard off and you’ll go faaster!

No way I´m gonna shave my beard…

It keep´s away the fly´s…

SATURDAY REPORT:

I went to Peniche this Saturday (to see the place, check http://www.balealsurfcamp.com/ but please forget the publicity…)

I enter with a little bit of on-shore with 7-9 feet waves; they weren´t good, but still made for 5 (five) hours, without getting out…

Some times it was like downhill stairs with a bike, but I´ve tried a lot of ways to accelerate with this board.

It accelerates so fast that it´s very dificult to stay on it…I never saw such speed on a board; she blows when she becomes to glide a vertical wall.

the bad news are: with this rocker, it´s almost impossible to make a front bottom, and she looses a lot of manovear when she get´s this speed.

Two little things to solve with the new board…

Tech information: this board is double concave with 6 mm depht in the most concave place…

“it´s almost impossible to make a front bottom”

Nice quote Luis!..

I refered this because of the “flat” rocker that this board has.

As I have difficulty in english expression, did I say something wrong?

Luis - “front bottom” is an expression that is sometimes used to describe a woman’s bits…if you get my drift.

Now “frontside bottom turn” is probably what you meant!

It made me chuckle…keep it up!

AHAHAHAHA…

your language is “better” than mine… (SORRY…)

oh contrair monfrair…and I’ll strap a gps unit on to prove it!

The truth is he’d surf faster without a wetsuit.

Beards make you surf really fast, like a big fat biker on a harley.

Beard should only be shaved if nose doesnt stop running during cold season, or a new born losses his lunch on your beard.

But a big fat biker on a Harley is real faster !!!

See the inertia his get…

Everyone knows red boards go faster…

I did´nt…
