Tony: I found the 6’7"R blank to be very user friendly on my first short board. It stayed in the quiver for 4 surf trips and to this day is being ridden. Hope that helps. Take a look at Shaping 101 for boards in this dimension range.

Keep in mind, I’m not nearly so well versed on shortboards as lots of Swaylockians. Here’s a template set, very close to your numbers, which looks good. I offset the wide point 2.5" forward from center, and put a 4" square stern on it. The midboard foam is 2.4" thick, with a modestly crowned deck. The rail line is .75" high, and the lower rail is tucked only .65". Tail rocker is 2.8% of boardlength, at 2.5", with little progression. Nose rocker is 4.1" and tends to 35 degrees from center tangent. Im not a fan of flipped noses, and didn’t set my program up for them. That’s my next programming project. If you want more flip, you’ll have to find a flipped blank or flip it yourself. It’s pretty easy, given enough foam.

90inch isnt a 6’6’'?
Sorry! Did I say that I’m busy? Here’s your board in 78 inches. Everything else is the same except: With 2.5" forward offset for lift and volume, it needed 11.4" wide nose for a little curve.
