Hey there,
I have decided to start shaping. I hope some of you more knowledgleable could give me a hand.
First off, I am in Europe so I have to order Clark Foam. I haven’t found any polystyrene and epoxy suppliers (that have close tolerance blanks).
I was wondering what blanks I should order for the following;
5’7" x 21" x 2.5
-this will be a traditional fish shape, with a deep swallow, low rocker and two keels
-I will eventually need help with the following (please, pretty please?)…some suggestions as to what nose width (thinking 16") and tail width (around 15") as well where the wide point should be placed (I was thinking 3"s forward) as rocker nose and tail…and then fin placement.
2nd board: 5’8" x 20" x 2 3/8"
-this board will be my personalized version of a roundnose fish, meant for performance (airs and spins) in smaller surf.
-it’ll have 4"nose rocker, 2" tail, still thinking about the nose and tail widths and the fins will be FCS set-up for both MR twins or a set of g-5’s.
I have been balling with the numbers alot lately because I am used to the metric system and not feet and inches (I know feet and inches well when it comes to the shortboards I ride which stay around 6’0x 18 1/4" 2 3/16", but not anything as deviant as the aforementioned and how it affects anything.
Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated…Thanks!
