Shape3D - Adding "Kick" in the tail of a longboard

General Discussion

Hi there!

I am busy working on a version 2 of my current log shape and some of the feedback I have recieved from testers is there needs to be more “kick” or “flip” in the tail.

I am busy designing the board in Shape3D but I am not sure how to add kick without making a “scoop” or a “dip” in the deck of the board.

Anyone know how to add a “kick” ?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Matthew.
I’m using Shape3D but I’m not sure what you are asking. As always, pictures are a great help. From your description it sounds like what you are looking for is to add more tail rocker. If you add tail rocker to the bottom then the board will get thinner if you don’t add some curvature to the deck as well so that the deck follows the bottom, creating a nice foil.
