Hey what's up everyone, first time poster, longtime reader...
I would like to shape something similar to a 5' 10" octafish, however, I don't have access to one, wouldn't be able to walk into VSS and make a template, and can't find a template on line. Anyone got any experience shaping a similar design that would be able to please help me with dims, rocker, temp...
Do you have shaping experience? Not to be a downer but bonzers are very diffilcult to shape. I would go feel up alot of them get the idea of the bottom and make a similer design on aku shaper for your template. I am just starting to shape bonzers and love them but I have a long way to go. If the bonzer bottom is done wrong it gets quite sticky. I would try to make a bee if you want to try a simpler outline to shape. I am attempting a E wing egg soon I will prob butcher it but after riding one I fell in love. Good luck and sorry I don’t have a template but you can easily make something close on AKU.
Yes, but only a few boards. I have three other bonzers (egg, bee, russ short) and am familiar with the bottom contours and I've seen the other post on the glass-on fin placement. I was just hoping not to eyeball the template and keep it as close as possible. girvin, thanks for your reply and if you have any tips on the bonzer please pass them on.
