Herb,>>> I had the same exact question. That pattern is sweet…That whole board is SWEET!!!
THANKS FOR THE POSITIVE CRITIQUE ON THE BOARD GUY’S. AS FOR THE ART ON THE DECK IT’S JUST PAINT PENS & THE CREATIVE EXPRESSION OF A GOOD FRIEND. WHILE I AM POSTING THIS I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT MY NEXT BOARD. I WILL BE SHAPING A TRAVEL BOARD FOR MY SELF SOON & NEED SOME FEED BACK ON RAILS, ROCKER, BOTTOM & SO ON. THE DIMENSIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS: 7’8" LENGHT x 2-7/8" THICK X 13-1/2" TAIL W/ 3-1/2" TAIL BLOCK (SWALLOW) x 21" MID x 14-3/8" NOSE. I WEIGH ABOUT 230 LBS. & THAT IS WHY I AM USING SUCH WIDE DIMENSIONS. THE TYPE OF SURF I WILL BE RIDING IT IN WILL RANGE FROM 6’TO 12’(WAVE FACE). I HAVE A 711R BLANK TO SHAPE IT OUT OF & AM WONDERING HOW TO ADJUST THE ROCKER? HOW MUCH TUCKED EDGE SHOULD I USE? WHAT TYPE OF BOTTOM CONFIGURATION (FLAT W/ VEE OFF TAIL OR CONCAVE W/ VEE OFF OF TAIL)? ANY ADVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED THANKS SLEEVE
SLEEVE, I would take the shape right out of the middle of the blank and foil in as much tail rocker in the last 8"or 10" inches as thickness allows. As for the bottom shape I would go with flat under the nose blending into a V by mid board, peaking just forward of the fin/fins and fading off the tips of the swallow. Rails could be medium thick, a little boxy, not very hard and with a nice tuck untill the last 16" then I’d make em razors. Thats what I would do, I hope all this helps. Good luck, Scott.
Sleeve: Nice board. I’ve got a similar ouline on a favorite 6’6" thruster. The 7’11" R is a good blank you should do well with it on the next board. Do you have a contact number for G.Island Glassing? One of the Sway crew is moving to Houston soon and is looking for a local contract glassing shop. Thanks!
