Ok, so I’ve been reading the volume thread, and also a thread that mentioned ply kneeboards. So whatabout a ply standup board with adjustable nose rocker. You would laminate it skateboard style with 6-8 sheets of 1/8", with 0 nose rocker. then about a foot back from the nose, you would screw a cam cleat into the deck, a line would be screwed into the tip of the nose, and this could be tightened to increase your nose rocker/flip. You would set to 0 nose rocker for faster paddling out, then increase to wherever you wanted it for the waves that day. To make up for the too thin rails, strips of foam could be laminated to the outside edges of the ply on the bottom to shape into the rail shape, leaving a channel in the center of the bottom where there is no foam (channel could be shaped into straight channel, or venturi). I have a sketch, but my scanner isn’t working for some reason, so I’m sorry if it is hard to visualize. Hopefully I will get a chance to try bulding one this summer, as it wouldn’t be too expensive of an experiment. Has anyone done much with deep channel bottoms? I guess this is more of a tunnel than a channel.
