Hi Solo,
Kind of an 80’s template. I like it although I was never fond of wings n things. What makes it a hybrid? Just looks like a user friendly thruster.
hi Solo !
what are the dimensions of this , please ?
[ here is my " edited , darker , less background vertical version " , of your shot ... I hope you don't mind , mate ?!]
I would enjoy it as a "hybrid' , with a back finbox , and small side fins , as either a 'widowmaker' type setup , a single fin , or a "2+1" setup . Or ...even , a twinny with trailer ! [yes , I can see a few options for THAT board !] .
What are the bottom contours , Noel ?
and ,
do you have a side-on rocker and foil profile shot , please ?
cheers !

I’m pretty sure the Dims are around 14’ x 20 x 15.5. Likely 2.5 ‘’ thick. This wasn’t one from my site, but custom Stevie did for someone else. Steve likes the tri plane bottom on his boards and he does his a bit different. Nice work on placing the photo by the way. Of course I don’t mind you posting it. Happy to have the interest.
...thanks , Noel , for that !
what length is it , too , please ?
if it's around 6'4 .... THAT would be 'my kind of hybrid' ! It looks like a bit more area'd [word?] version of my 1970s Bob Cooper single fin .
Are there any shots of the 'tri plane hull' , please ? ... would it be similar to the Walden ones , I wonder ? [with a bit of a beveled rail , with concave between it and the inside deep double concaves ?]
A rocker / foil shot would be interesting too, please ?
IS there a website or something , where he displays deck , bottom , profile / rocker , and fin setup photos , by any chance ??
cheers

Hey Solo
Whats the thinking you give to your wing placement? I notice they are positioned foward of the trailing edge - on my boards I’ve always done them just behind the trailing edge.

Thats a Stevie thing. I’ll ask him and see what he says. My wings have always just behind the trailing edge also.
This one was a custom so I never got to see the profile. Stevies websiste is mostly mine. I’ll see if I can post some other boards with his bottoms and etc. I think this board was 6’2’'. I’ll double check.
thanks !
.... what is your website address then , please ?
cheers

...thanks , mate !
