After looking at the template try and guess the age, weight of the surfer then your input of optimum wave conditions. I haven’t shaped many gunny type things and a friend is mulling a few ideas. Just critique the (favorite expletive here) out of the thing and I will tell you what he was thinking. Just rip it apart because the truth will be good for him.
He thinks he has the best fin set-up also. Blow him out of the water.
He is happy with these numbers and likes the outline. I don’t agree with his fin choice.
I could see that as a thruster, bonzer or 2+1 of some sort. Drop the tail rocker a little and i could see it as a singlefin, McKee style quad or perhaps a twinner. I’d be a bit surprised if your guy went with keels.
Looks like what I’m making with a single longboard box. Mine is a bit fuller in the nose, a little less tail width and the wide point is forward of center. It is also 2 3/4" thick. I’m 52, 165lbs , started surfing about 1966. If I need it, I’ll add side boxes later and make it a 2 +1 or Thruster.
40 - 50 yr old guy wanting a good paddler but still a decent amount of performance, probably a bit of an all-rounder shape for different local waves, probably a thruster..... probably a shape for a guy resisting going to a mini-mal board, still wanting to throw down some decent turns as well as have a board that can handle some size at his local spots .....
Wow, you guys are professional. Pretty much have him pinned.
“Tatsu” @ 50 wants a birthday present. 6’1", 210-15 lbs. Surfs if it’s around his rib cage and up to well over-head. Wants the board to reside in his van when not in the water. Drives often because he is a carpenter. Is always close to river mouths, point and beach breaks.
