I posted a message here about a few weeks ago asking how to shape a board and everybody was more than knowledgeable. My new question is I’m getting underway on a 6’9 mini gun from a 6’9 R Clark foam blank. Since this is my first board I have no templates and am finding it really hard to know exactly what design to use. I’m planning on using this board only in solid overhead+ surf at Newp’s, CA (yeah, I know, I’m going to have to wait a while). I’m 6’1, 160 lbs, and I’m looking for speed and paddling in this board. Any dimension suggestions that work well would be greatly appreciated.
i just did a 6’9" rnd pin. it measures out 11.75" nose 19.5" wide(about 1.5" behind center) 14" tail it’s about 2 3/8" thick. i used the new 6’9"H blank and barely had enough room for a full 6’9", but i really like the natural rocker it comes with.
69R has a mean high spot in the center. http://www.newsurfproject.com/started.html
