What would a Board shape for someone who would surf with their back foot far forward be. I am making a board for a guy who kitesurfs from looking on the web and examples of other boards I can see the back strap is quite a bit forward from a normal surfing foot position. The board is going to be 6ft2 X 18’1/2
A traditional twin-keel fish takes well to such a stance, but judging on the dimensions you proposed, it sounds like you are making a simple shortboard.
Swifty,
I’m not sure I’d worry about it…I think the two sports demand the different foot positions, not the rider’s stance…
I’d just shape him a normal one, and tell him that in surfing, it’s considered offensive to surf with the back foot up too far. Call it “upfooting” or something.
