I’m a beginner shaper with 5 builds done so far looking for ways to help improve my designs. I figured why not try AI to generate some builds based on tried and true designs. I don’t know enough about the intricacies of surfboard design or hydrodynamics to tell if these are viable or not. I don’t expect anyone to tell me if every measurement is correct just an overall analysis. Thanks yall
These are the outline templates followed by the AI Build Sheets
AI is definitely useful as a tool for pulling information from the internet and summarizing pretty concisely.
A surfboard blank catalog is also a useful tool for rockers and foil, pretty much every blank is within shaping distance of a real surfboard, if you know what I mean.
planshapes can be copied from a real board, or drawn from your mind or your memory, there are a variety of ways to get a smooth curve.
Without looking I can tell you anything AI generated is probably gonna be viable and useful. Just gotta pick the one you like best and find the appropriate blank to get it from.
