If that would do it, I would donate $5

Hey Bill,
Just wondering if you might be able to give a little description of the details on this board.
Unfortunately, this shot from instagram is the only visual I can find.
If you don’t mind sharing, I’d be keen to know as many dimensions as you care to share. Also interested in what looks like a pronounced bump or hip in the outline. Is that what I’m seeing?
Also, I’ve noticed you seem to favor a squared tail where other people often go with a softer/rounder termination. What’s your philosophy on this area of planshape design?
Kind regards,
Andrew
Aloha Andrew,
No, not a hip. There is a tip of the hat to Bob Simmons, and Lindsey Loord, in the design. The board has the WP 5% ahead of center, and a 15 degree break in the tail in the last 15% of the board length. The hard square tail is for a sharp, drag reducing release.
Very cool. I suspected as much with regard to the square tail.
Mind if I ask what the width is at the nose/Wide point/tail (at the 12" marks)?
Also curious about rocker numbers (ballpark) and bottom contours.
Andrew,
The board is 5’ 10’’ x 20’', with an 8inch square tail. I don’t recall the nose or tail widths @ the 12 inch marks. I just laid out lines that looked right to my eye. Sorry that I can’t be more helpful.
“Just laid out lines that looked right to my eye” thanks Bill that is my new favorite quote!
No problem, Bill. You’ve said before that the curve is more important than hitting specific numbers, so I was half-expecting an answer along those lines.
Thank you for sharing.
is this not a hip?
The above photo is taken from the tail, looking toward the nose. The 15 degree break in the tail area, is only 10.5 inches long. Too far back and too short to be classified as a hip, in my opinion. Historic hips have occurred at or near the WP of a given surfboard design. WP on the subject surfboard is ahead of center. The photo distorts the true relationship of the break, to the overall design.
