re’s what I have accomplished so far … outline cut and trued up good, deck thickness plained down in the nose and tail to where I want it … bottom shaping finished (basically flat with a moderate amount of belly in the nose) and the deck crown shaped in (whattalotagrindin’ …)
Here’s what it looks like so far:
Thanks Bill Thrailkill for help with the design … this should be one fun gun …
looks good - hard to tell from the picture but the nose appears to still be 1" thick? That much foam in the nose isn’t really helping anything, although it will make the board harder to duckdive in big waves - If it were me I’d thin it down. Just a thought…
You’re probably right … maybe I better mow some more off of the nose and prolly the tail too … if so I’ll take it off the deck since the bottom is as I want it already.
Won’t take much effort now to do it since the rails haven’t been done yet.
The fin setup will be Mr. Thrailkill’s ‘double single fin’ setup … two asymmetrically foiled fins, 2 inches apart on center. A precarious looking setup for sure but he swears by it for this shape and I know Bill wouldn’t send me out into macking waves with a board I can’t trust
You might consider thinning the nose from the bottom. The added rocker in the nose will help with the killer steep drops that guns were designed for. Just my 2 cents worth.
