I want to build a Board for a friend (first time that I don’t shape for myself) and this is what I come up with so far. I used the APS 3000 for the first time too.
I would be cool if you could check 'em and give me an opinon. He is 165 lb and a beginner/intermediate.
One has the widepoint in front of center (kinda the outline he likes) and one with wide point behind center (to give him the other option).
I read that the max thickness should be coordinated with the widepoint to have a nice balanced board. Is that the case or could you actually have the widepoint in front of center, but the max thickness behind center to have a lot of flotation in the back??
Howzit euro, Would look at the boards but I refuse to download from unknown sources and in the past there has been a case or 2 where viruses were unleashed here unknowingly. Can you just put them up as an attachment. Aloha,Kokua
I like the first version, but would make the outline template very slightly concave in the last foot…seems like all good boards (guns excepted) are a little concave in template behind the front fins…I think Bert or Loehr called it an S-tail…
Then I went and looked at Orbelian’s book Essential Surfing which has maybe 2 dozen board specs from the early 80s…every last shortboard has an S tail template - slightly narrower behind the fins…
Also, rear rocker a little high for having the WP forward (maybe drop 1/4"), front rocker a little low, maybe add 1/2".
You are correct. PDF isn’t executable and doesnt contain a macro language. So it cant be infected easily.
Take it form someone who works in IT, used to see dozens of virus infections in a day and submitted a 30 page document on virus analysis for his major tertiary final.
Unfortunately I’m not really in a position to help directly with that. What little I really know about board design applies more to longboards. I’ll soon be asking a similar question about an 8’6"! Just give me a few days.
Thanks for the kind words Lob, I´m super excited for this project! Talking about Rails, Volume etc. is the Railshape ok or would you recommend something else? And does the thickest point of the Board have to be where the widepoint is or could I move that back a little?
Fins are also a question, my friend would like FCS normal Thruster Set Up, but I´m not sure if that´s appropriate for this board, should I recommend him single fin/finbox?
Thanks to Blakestah for your input! Good to know, since I wasn´t 100% sure about the Rocker Line either!
Sorry Kokua, I have no clue how to attach stuff differently, since this was also a first time! I didn´t even thought about that kind of stuff, when I checked attachments out here on Swaylocks!
I love Swaylocks, you guys are awesome!
P.S. Did anyone of you ever get in Trouble for swaylocking at work? (I guess that should be a new thread, haha!)
