John, I got your template awhile back....

I forgot to email or call you letting you know I got it. Instead, I got so psyched and started turning it into a board. :slight_smile: hehe. I’ll be glassing it at the shop tomorrow - barring anything not being too busy.

The template was a bit too big for my board - but it looked as more of a winter rider anyway - and I was looking for something a little more gutless, not for mush-type surf just a speedster in the head-high range stuff - so I sweeped the nose out a bit and widened it - making it right inline with the center of the board. It kind of pushes the widepoint up a bit, but I dont think it will have THAT adverse of an affect. I kept the rocker real relaxed, like you suggested, and through some slight channels near the swallow and wings. Not sure if I’m going to glass a single fin on it or just stick with a fin box yet. I have an old Yater fin that’s collecting dust and it would look great with the board. Who knows?

I’ll post pics of it when it’s finished - I just wanted to let you know that your template was EXACTLY what I was looking for. VERY stoked man.

Aloha

Bryan
