Esteemed shapers of big-guy boards,

Very nice examples on this thread, thanks for posting!

I am working on a strip and remodel, looks like I have about 8’ x 23 x 3.75 left. Nose is 1.5" thick w/ 5" rocker, tail is 2 1/8 w/ 2" rocker.

How would you start the rail bands for a big guy board?  The online stuff I am seeing are all for boards 3" and thinner.
