THANK > YOU >>>> Start with a 10’5"S Blank, use a Superblue for a lite board or Supergreen for durability. Nose width @ 12" back should be 15 1/2" to 15 3/4", center 23" to 23 1/2", and tail width between 13 3/4" to 14 1/2". Standard rocker for Desert Islands are about 4 1/2" to 5" for nose and 3 3/4" tail.Thickness is a personal preference, but 2 7/8" (thin) to 3 3/8" should be in the ballpark. Fin placement about 16" up from the tail for side fins ( FCS, Red X, or Lock Box) with center box fin about 7 1/2" up from the tail.For rail profile think shortboard style down rail ,tucked under edge to hard boxy rail in the tail from the front fins back. Your welcome, sk

hey sk what kind of offset for the center width? my guess would be an inch or two in front of center…

FWIW, just checked my son’s 9’5" and the nose width came in at 13.25"

FWIW, just checked my son’s 9’5" and the nose width came in at > 13.25" I know very little about shaping guns, but I worked up some numbers which look good on CAD. This shape looks alot like the fun guns I’ve seen.

I’m nottelling you the info you got from Hoy is incorrect, but as these type’s of boards get bigger deminsion’s change.sk
