hey dude, thanks again for the template numbers, i drew them out but the outline is more that of a hybrid. most performance thruster shapes i’ve had/seen have nose widths in the 10.75 - 11.75" range. i’m wondering why these dimensions came out so funky on your program? seems there must be something missing? am i wrong? what do you think?

Sorry for the delay. My ISP was down for two days. The numbers are probably wrong because I didn’t think anyone would pay any attention to me. Seriously, the problem is less with the program than with the operator. Here’s what you asked for:>>> hey noodle,>>> was wondering if you could crunch some numbers for me. i’m working up a > 6’8" shortboard template and could use a few in between numbers. if > you have the time…just a no nonsense merrick type outline. 6’8" x > 11"n x 19.25"c x 14"t . these numbers are aprox. small rnd > squash, 3-4" tail block. @ 2.25" thick, wide point about > 1.5" behind center. i’d be stoked. the lines i’m getting just look a > little off. be cool to have a few more plotting points.>>> thanks, bruce Here’s what I said: Again, an 11" nose totally straightened the forward rails, and brought the mid-board rails to a point. Here’s a shape with a 4" stern, 14" tail, 19.2" mid (zero offset), and 13.2" nose. The rail is thick and low with a .66" quarter cylinder lower cross section. ------------------------------ Your dimensions didn’t quite work because the tail and nose were so narrow, and the waiste so wide in such a short board. Being more of a hybrid enthusiast I took it to a wider nose. Here’s your shape with a 14.5" tail It looks pretty good. Tell me if you need any more tweaks.
