Dear Americans,
I’m an Australian looking to design and shape a fish- dimensions at this point are 6’-6’2"x 20-21"x 2 3/4. Where, to your knowledge, can I find a template on the Net?

if your using clark foam, get a 6’9a and follow the lines.

6’9’’ isnt that a little long for a fish??..follow the lines?..what lines?..sorry but just trying to grasp this concept with the 6’9’’ and lines and whatnot.

who needs 5" of rocker in the nose??? like alot of the other threads we’re all surfing different conditions. alot of folks wonder who’d want a fish anyway?
I have E B S!
starting on page 61 http://fundingcashflow.com/surfing/Surfboard_Design_and_Construction_1977.pdf you’ll find detailed plans for a 5’5" Lis Fish. You could scale it.
sorry but i still dont get it …five inches of rocker? i have no problem with a fish…EBS? what the hell is that? the 6’2’’ c dosent appear to have 5 inches of rocker …of course you can cut down a blank by …nevermind…
yes, 5" nose, 1 13/16" tail. Walker is the ticket but not available everywhere.
my recently made fish is attached in the pics…6’2x20.5x2.7, 15 tail, 14.7 nose, 3.8 nose rocker, 1.7 tail rocker, soft concave. Super fast when you trim high on the face…just goes.
You can take any shape, print the pic and just eyeball the outline using dark tape on a large sheet of paper…it takes about 2 hours to get it just right…dimensionally right…smooth curves no wavyness…one side only then just use one side to cut the blank.

The best designs are found on masonite, that you have drawn pencil line curves upon. Just draw the lines, cut them out, true them up with a sanding block, and then lay it out on the blank of your choice, and shape! That's what I do. BE CREATIVE !
