I want a fish.I can’t afford one so it seems a good time to realise a boyhood dream,and make one.
I’m 45 y.o.,6’3’',215 and counting.Competent surfer(on a good day).Probably surf 3 times a week,in winter basically weekends.
I want the board for beach break dribble and small point waves,to complement my lngbds.(quicker reacting ,better duckdiving etc.)
I’ve got heaps of inspiration and helpful info from lurking plus the archives,and what I have in mind is:
A quad a la speedialler ,6’6’’ to 6’8’'. You tink 21 1/2 is a good width ? I really like GGriffin’s fish planshapes so will shoot for something like that.
Rocker’s the mysterious part-I don’t know any shapers well enough to squeeze them for design secrets, so ,what are some numbers?I know the rocker apex should match the wide point.Should it have an even curve ,or a kick in the tail ?
For hull shape I like the idea of a subtle dble. conc. inside a subtle single,going flat behind the fins.
Any advice ,direction,criticism ?
Happy Xmas and some waves to all.
