yes I was wondering -> the good ol thruster. How about some measurements - tail width, rocker, fin positions… everything you are prepared to give away!
when does he use the 6’ 2" rounded pin as opposed to the 6’ 4" swallow tail?
I’ll give you whatever I can remember. We did both of these boards For Ryan in 4 days so unfortunately I didn’t take a lot of notes.
The 6’4" is his step-up. That’s why it’s the only one in these shots. 15’ faces were comon on this day.
If I had it to do over, I think I would have given it a little more tail rocker. I did the fin position in a standard 3.5" and 11" because of the adjustability of the ProBox. It allows the board to be more versatile.
The 6’2" is for steep OH to DOH, but DOH is the absolute max for for this surfer and this board.
If I can think of any more pertinent info, I’ll let you know.
ok cheers for the info Todd, I was a bit curious as to why the shorter board looked narrower so you have answered that, but I want more info if you can remember! lol
I have a fascination with the technical details of what the pros are riding, so any tail width, wide point measurements, what blank?
Despite the fact that my general ordinariness, skinny build and formative years spent skating merrily on top of the surface aboard 80s twinnies means that my surfing doesn’t remotely resemble that of a pro I have convinced myself that if I can analyse the pro measurements and scale them up for my middle age I will be able to rip! I’ve already collected some info from Surfding who has a son on the WQS
Ah yes…that oh so familiar illusion. I know…because I still have it! LOL
Being that surfding is one of my BIG mentors…anything he told you I would agree with 100%.
I seem to remember consulting with him during the build of these two boards as well…but like I said…I did both in 4 days, so the whole thing is kind of a blur.
I have a way of getting fairly accurate measurements from a pic of the board…I’ll see what I can come up with for you if you still want me too…but I’d trust surfding’s advice over mine if I were you. LOL
