General Discussion

Hi all

Need help shaping an rusty DWART inspired egg.  

Size will be around

5’8” x 20 ½  x 2 5/8

Nose 15 ½   Tail  16 ¼

Don’t have idea about the rocker ???  looking  for advice  and numbers?  should be low rocker

Also I think I will use - US Blanks 5’10” RP   but which rocker?   natural or less???

 

Any info about the DWART will be great.  For example where to place the wings ?

For the fins will use McKee formulas http://www.mckeesurf.com/brucemckee/fingraphic.htm

 

Surfing in Black Sea Europe :)  first time shaping

Regards ;)

keep it simple for the first time shaping, dont over shape, dont over think, every blank has a board inside that it wants to become, just take it slow and it will all work out

yes i will keep it simple :)  i think that the rocker and fin alignment are the things that can ruin the job.  don't have similar boards to look from :(

the board will be fat and thick for small  waves which are the best waves we have :)

As much as i found, these boards have fish like rocker maybe little bit more in the nose.  what is a good starting point for fish rocker ?

 

on another post i found this :

US Blanks 510 Comes standard at 4 1/2 NR, 1 7/8 TR you shouldn't really need to go anything to far from that but your rocker dems posted above do look good, they are right where you want to me. If you want a small wave board i find Flat to Vee best for fishes for my personal use, also i enjoy single throughout but it really is up to you and how you surf. Flat is fastest and i like speed. As for fin placement just use the Mckee setup i have it on a 55 super flat rockered board. Post up pics when you start.
