hiya Mike !
I hope you are well, and getting waves ?!
Mate, I wanted to ask you ...
I noticed on the 'post your current project' thread , that you said you had sold your 'mini simmons'-type board , ?as you preferred your fish[es]?
SO ... firstly , what felt best about the board ?
and ..
what did you not like about it , or how it went ?
..... WHAT would you change , next time , were you to make another 'mini-simmons' ??
would you , for example ,
thin it ?
narrow it ?
pull in the tail , and / or nose ?
use a more rockered blank ?
change the rails ?
different bottom ?
use a fin system , in order to experiment with fin size , shape , placement , cant , toe , rake ?
.....I ask , because my mate here , "Moonfish" , is contemplating making one [he's around ? 6'2 and 105 or so kgs ? [a big guy] . So far , he's thinking along the lines of a 6' x ?23? x 2 5/8" or so...
what do you reckon ??
okay, cheers for any feedback , Mike !!
