Hi folks,
I decided to start a mini simmons project, and I would love to have your points of view about the design that I did with shape3d. Every constructive comments are welcome. for fins positions, I think I will go for something like 3"1/2 to 4" from the tail, toe-in 1/4 et fins cant 4 degrees.
Hi dude,
Thanks for your recommendations. I added a Vee at the tail. So now, single to double concave and vee at the tail. I put tail rocker 0.88" and nose rocker 3.61". What do you think ?
I think vee, while allowing rail-to-rail transitions, might cause the mini to spin out. I really liked the concave because it allowed me to get it right on rail and make hard turns. But, as always, YMMV.
Hi deez,
your point of view is also interesting. In my first design I have tail rocker 0.48" and rocker 3.61" with a double concave running against the fins. U said 1/2’ as tail rocker, so you mean 0.5" so i add 0.2" more to my tail? That’s enough as tail rocker?
plenty. ive done them with 0 tail rocker and they fly. people tend to want to over do the simmons, and then you get a board that is not a simmons at all. low tail rocker, low nose rocker. hull entry with 60/40 down rails to hard edge in the tail. double concave twin fin set far back on the tail. my magic number is 3.5" from tail
