How would the rocker of a nose rider be adusted for shorter peaks like beach breaks versus longer point breaks.
Im in oz and around sydney there arent many really long waves like cali
hey guys, thats all very interesting info there! I am throwing numbers around at the moment trying to get a good shape for my 1st board, I too would love a noserider, so far I’ve got 9"6’ long, 3 1/2’ nose rocker, 5’ tail rocker, 18’-23’-15’, 6’ square tail, 50/50 rails, slight vee in tail, slight concave in nose, but my worry is: If I make this board which will be a good noserider, will it still ride ok when not on the nose and if not, what can I change to make it a good mix of the two? I’m not looking for a performance board at all, just a single fin cruiser/fun board that I can walk up occaisionally. 3ft waves max.
I have been stuck on this problem for quite a while now and can’t start anything untill I am sure I am building the right shape!!!
any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated.
thanks Robbo.
i’d lose the vee and do a rolled bottom thru the tail. nose rocker dropped down closer to the 3" range wouldn’t hurt either. i’d also go 1/2" wider at the nose and close to 1" wider in the tail with a bigger square tail…but now we’re really getting down to personal preference…and that’s just me.
they just put up a nice comparison chart on the Harbour website showing all their different “cruiser” models. take a look, see what you like, and maybe it’ll inspire this shape you’ve got workin’…
