With board 8 and 9 I suddenly felt like things came together a lot better.
Nr. 8 is the blue/turquoise Mininoserider.
And Nr. 9 is the orange Mini-Simmons.
It was gettin more consistent and felt easier and I enjoyed it very much.
The Mini Noserider is 7.2x22x3, a little teardrop concave under the nose, flatish middlesection, a bit of vee in the tail. Rocker is 3 in the front and 2.5 in the back with a flip in the end. Chined rails in the front, fading out in the middle, medium hard edge from the sidebites on throughout the tail.
The Mini-Simmons is 5.11x22.7/8x3.
2.5 noserocker, 0.5 tailrocker, but with a 1/4 deep vee (railends are 0.75 tailrocker)
Full rails, but with a very crispy edge starting quite early in front of the quads.
I´m working on Nr. 10 and 11 now.
Nr. 10 (the picture with the flared channels) is a refined remake of Nr. 3 - less volume, refined foil and rails, 6.2x22x2.7/8.
Nr. 11 will be some kind of short/eggish 2+1 singlefin (6.5x21.5x3)
I am thankful for all of you who share your knowledge.
I remember so many worthwile comments and tips from Stingray, Yorky, Bill Thrailkill, Barry Snyder, Huck … just to name a few.
The threads of Sk8ment are pure gold, love to read those. You saved me from a couple of mistakes with your stunning build-threads.
(I was damn close to the “flying blank in the garden due to a gust of wind” thing)
CWR is another one who comes to my mind. And so on…
I hope from time to time I can contribute a little bit to the sharing of experience, be it with build-threads or the documentation of my screw-ups.
