Noodle - Egg outline question

Noodle, Ramon suggested post a question to you about an outline for an Egg shape I’m planning. I was wondering if you could give me help me building an outline for it?.. Background… 1. I’ve been inspired by Ramon’s Comet and Peter’s Egg. Heavily looking at coming up with an outline similar to the Takayama egg (7’10" - 16 1/8", 21 3/4", 14 5/8", 2 7/8"). I just bought an 8’3" E blank. 2. I surf in Nor California with forays to SoCal in summer (so I can trunk it) and looking to build a board with down the line drive and carve. I surf mostly a longboard so this will be ‘shortboard’ to me. 3. I think I’ve got a handle on the rails with input from Ramon. Softish up to 16" from the tail, w/ slight V in tail. This board will be a single fin of course. Any comments and input appreciated.

The shape below is 94L x 21.8W x 14.6T x 16.2N, 1.6" forward offset. Tail template overlaps the stringer .4", Nose .8". Tail rocker is 3% of board length. Midboard rail is .8" high with a 1.2 tuck. I figured that would blend well to your soft tail rails. I thought your numbers tended slightly toward skatey. This has a tad more carve for your steep waves.

Here’s a link to an earlier post for outline and rocker. The posted rail numbers measure up and down along the rail line bisect. So draw a line and put a mark on one end. That’s the stringer center line. Measure along the line for width. Measure up for the deck, and down for the bottom. Good luck. http://www.swaylocks.com/discussion/archive/index.cgi?review=6311

Noodle, Ramon, thanks for the input. Should be able to clean off the racks after X-mas and play with the outline soon. Cheers, Chris NorCal>>> Here’s a link to an earlier post for outline and rocker.>>> The posted rail numbers measure up and down along the rail line bisect. So > draw a line and put a mark on one end.
