bonzer

Is there a minimal tail width for a 3 fin bonzer set up? Or a ideal width for optimal performance? I’m thinking of a narrow design for larger surf but do not want to be too narrow and effect performance. I’m thinking. 14 " or so, any info is appreciated .thanx

14" was pretty “normal”

You are right on the money @14.0"

This board is 5’8" x 19.5".

Tail is 14.0"

WOW , sweet board ! thank you for your reply and photos

Ben, no that’s resin.

I mixed one bucket of Volan colored green tint.

Glassed board,

layered green tint and black.

Multiple layers.

I ride a 6’9" Bonzer 5 egg modeled on a Wayne Lynch template - its pretty much the classic Bonzer egg the brothers make. It rides like a dream despite the fact that it is pretty flat for my linking and the tail is a little wider than I like. These aspects make it a ‘different’ board with its own thing going for it as opposed to a ‘wrong’ board - this board would probably be ‘wrong’ (for me if it was a standard thruster - not enough rocker and tail too wide:

I think you are on the money at 14"

Ace Knows his 3 fin Bonzers. Just saw a Craigs list Eaton Bonzer with The name Ace on the Stringer.  I’m going to ask for a Big Discount because Mike didn’t shape the Board just some hack added Ace.  ( Kidding )
