Greetings, I have read some good post regarding Fish templates and design. For my next project I wanted to do a large Fish (Whale of a Fish) around 8-0 or so.
Going over the Clark Foam catalog, Mitch suggested that a 89B for starters. I added a +1 inch for the nose rocker (based on the Fish blanks), two additional colored 1/2 inch foam strips on each side of the center RW 1/4 inch stringer (to give the board some extra width to work with) and finally two RW 3/16 stringers that start on the outside of the T-Band which will flair to a spread targeting 13 inches apart 7 inches from the tail (the intent is to bring the flared stringer to the tip of each Fish Tail). All glue will be dark blue.
With all that above said, I will be looking for template to start with. Any recommendations? It was also suggested to go with a quad fin setup vice dual.
Hope some of you got to enjoy the SOCAL swell last couple of days. Churches and Trestles were going off and a good time was had by all. Keith, I did not get the 9-0 gun from the glasser. Maybe next south swell. There are storms a-brewing…
