How's this Fish Design?

Hi, I’m looking to make my first hollow wooden surfboard. I have used the image board feature to help create the shape attached, what do people think? Is it a feasable design? Anything glaringly obvious that I should change (I haven’t shaped a board before)?

Thanks, Mike

Looks nice. Are you going to give it a swallow tail?

The rocker apex is too far back.  Push it forward to center or ahead of center, keep the end points rocker.  Thin the 12" nose thickness to 1 15/16".  Thicken the end of the tail to 3/4".

Cheers, yeah I am, just decided not to bother trying to shape it in AKU.

Cheers man, Is this what you meant? The very end of the tail is now 3/4".

Much better on the rocker. 

 

So this is the current design, any other tips or adjustments? Thanks for any help!

99.99 beers. That’s a lot of beer man.

At least 1 1/2" tail rocker 

You’re correct.        Good advice.

So this is the updated design, decided to try and finalise it to then create a cad file. Can anyone give me any last tips/give it a once over? Thanks again for your help guys.

Rocker at 12" back from the tip of the nose should be 1". This will force the curve from center to the nose to be lower. it will paddle and get into waves much better like that.
