oh’’ oh’ i can see that in the water by sunday if not before (-:
still waiting for the templates )-:
thought I’d leave that with you. talk soon
I was talking to Neil Purchase Jr in the surf about the split fin, and after watching him surf out there. I’m a beiliever in the concept.
After shaping this board it just looked right to put a split (thruster style) back fin on it.
So Huie, I’m looking forward to fine tuning this thing.
pic is one of Neals magic boards.
Yorky,
Great thread man. I am enjoying following along as I am starting a very similar build (square nose version EPS with two high density stringers 12" apart). Are the outside edges of your tail as low as the center channel or do they almost form a Vee? Do you mind me asking what your center line tail rocker came out too? Cant wait to see how this comes out for you especially with the NPJ fin setup. Keep the posts coming!
Lookin’ good!
purple stripe size and placement is critical.
Damn right, I lost sleep over that problem.
I shaped the board as a single concave first with the deep part between the feet running into a flat on the tail block.
Then added the extra stuff after that.
I don’t know that the tail rocker off the stringer line came out as, I’ll go down and measure it.
the rail line rocker is a 20ft radius ark straight off the tail with no flip at all.
I spoke to master Huie yesterday about the back split fins (thruster style). thats his department, keep tweeking it untill we get it right.
… Your high density sringers should work well 12" apart and will look pretty cool too. (will you be doing the build on here?)
Tail rocker, along stringer line (inside the 1/4" deep 3"wide concave) is 2 1/4"
Nose rocker, is 4 1/2"
concave depth is 5/16" before centre concaves are added.
Wow,
I like the dims (way to small for me but super cool). 5/16" concave at center on 5’6" x 18.5" with a 2.25" center thickness? Lots of curves going on. The rocker profile looks great. I have never worked with the large radius (20ft) concept that you used for the rail rocker. Excited to learn more about that. So no overall concave or Vee out the tail just channels? Nice. It looks like your concave fades in to the front of the board well after the 12" mark to kinda mellow out the center line rocker? I really like how you faded the double inside concaves a third of the way down. I have used the same technique on previous build and had good results. Frothing to see this fin setup from Huie!
The double stringer EPS I got is from Bennet, didnt glue this one myself. Yup, might try a build thread. Keep the pics coming!
nope
No vee out the tail, although it does look like it from the pic, I reckon the tail shape has a lot to do with that (the outside curve of the double bat tail). Also there is a very slight concave added on the outside of to channels toward the rail.
If you run a straight edge across the apex of all the channels in the tail block, its flat.
I took my girl and 7 month old son over to your island today Huie.
Where were you?
Jet skied around it looking for a place to live hehehe
ha’’
** sorry a bit late
this board would be a record for you still in progress (-:**
**so to day i foiled up some early trial fins
the fronts are wot we talked a bit of k21-- a bit of are’ er’ woteva**
**they are laid up with amazin light weight cloth which is so fine it melts into the resin which is epoxy
the rears are laid up with g 10 and wood which is where i lean these days and have another set of mains underway to match
they are as we wanted abit less total area than the mains-- there a new templte and for yorky so i thought we might call them new yorkers (-:**
Are you kidding me.
I’m jumping up and down right now, super supa excited…
They, Look Great.
How about I ride my ski over and pick them up, and bring the board over with me? (Board is still at the same stage)
nah wont be there i sent you an e mail will post the fins as soon as i get to mainland
get the bloody board finished i got lots more to try
yours are in the oven
theres a new dawn
Any chance of elaborating on the way you used the golden ratio curve.
as in the actual practical method?
did you scale draw it and make a howire template or use a projector to blow it up on a wall and trace it?
As a maths science teacher and surf addicted wanna be shaper i am super excited by this thread, but have only read up to this part so far. LLOOOVVVEEE it! if there was a build comp on the go you would be a shoe in!!!
