I’ve noticed a shift to slightly thicker boards (more foam more fun) Perhaps your shaper was just trying to give you an updated board ( a little thicker, less nose rocker, etc.) Bottom line…how does it surf?
The reason is really easy, there are one million ways to draw a line from point A to point B, and on you board you have as points “A” and points “B” as you want to draw lines between them, and you, probably, are only giving to your shaper the distance between 3 to 7 (if you are including N, T width and rockers) points “A” and “B” in your board.
Are you telling your shaper if you want a flat deck? a concave deck? how flat?
These days i’m trying to order a new board from a shaper i never ordered before, and i’m doing it via internet, the first i did was sending him a photo of the board i’m actually riding, showing him the foil, the template and giving him some specks, then i’m telling him what i want to change and what do i like from my actual board and how it feels to me.
Maybe if you do this, the next time you’ll have something closer to what you want.
Also take all kind of measurements from your magic boards before they’re broken, and take some photos too.
Try to see the rails of a board from the 80’s with 2.25’’ thickness and then compare them to the rails of a modern board with the same thickness… you’ll understand what’s happening with your boards.
In the photo i show here you can’t see the shape of the rails, but i also sent him some photos of the rails and the bottom contour with an straight angle over the bottom.
Hope this helps.
Sola dosis facit venenum said once PARACELSUS. Only the dose will make it toxic. A pinch of salt will make your dinner delicious but if you eat a pound of it you will definitely die. That´s the same with most other things. Nearly everything can cause cancer!
You smoke cigarettes? well lungcancer is on it´s way. At least thats what politicians try to say to you. The fact is if you eat to much fat or grilled stuff it will cause cancer and if you don´t eat fat you body can´t deactivate the free radicals which are every where in the human body. What means they will cause cancer as well. I think it´s totally going in the wrong direction. you better invest in you health system instead of banning resin etc.
I´m glad that in Austria we have e excellent health system instead of rules which limit my personal freedom

Why choose between a healthy diet and a healthy atmosphere? Why not have both?
