Experience advise please ...

Hello,

Please, if you find it nice to do, help me define specifics for a mixture of

  1. The 2+1 Longboard [as laid down by Dave Parmenter in the guide he wrote and placed on this website],

and

  1. The outline and length of the Quiksilver Jeff Hakman board.

Most help is needed with rocker and rails.

To be surfed at at ANGLET:

Howzit Wouter, I'm getting a laugh out of the QuickSilver Jeff Hakman model since I know that Jeff rides his sons boards which are shaped here on Kauai by Mark Sausen who has shaped quite a few boards for Jeff also. I might be able to get some dimentions on those boards, I do know they have custom rocker. Aloha,Kokua
