Thruster Hybrid

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
