due to a tragic planer error, i was forced to thin this nose to absolutely nothing, its at 5’6 x 2 1/8 x 20 what would you do to this
shapewise
finwise
tailwise
anyone?
and go easy on me, i only have a grip of boards under my belt
From that rocker photo, I would say that the problem comes more from bad foiling than from actual thinness of the nose. Also, the outline curve might be more natural (I think I see straight lines in the middle part).
Nothing tragic, anyway. Why don’t you make a nice Christmas gift to a young grom who will be more than happy with it? Come on, you just got one small week to finish it, make a killer art-job on it and glass it!!!
the glass will make it thicker
thin is good repeat after me
THIN IS GOOD
and the prophet rose
to full height at the campfire
blue light illuminating
his / her face from beneath
like a conselor at
summer camp
and said
and said
and said
‘’ Thin Is Good ‘’
and it was so …
then he looked skyward
"glass it , it wil be a hot
bitchin board.‘’
then he looked the handler straight in the eye
" that aint even thin’’
''I shaped one so thin one time
I could see my hand through it
in the dark ‘’’
it was at that point
he/she became another
sack o’ sheep
down wind
in the smoke.
everybody laughed
and waited to see
the finished board
gettin’ waxed up.
…ambrose…
are you mixing the resin yet?
A uni-directional kite board?
Looks to me like the tail could use some thinning.
Make a replica of an early '70s Wayne Lynch? That’s what struck me when I first looked at the pictures; “Damn, that looks like an old Lynch”. http://www.surfresearch.com.au/00000225.html
The design kinda evolved some later ( see http://www.surfresearch.com.au/00000045.html ) but I do recall seeing Lynches under 6’6" ridden successfully by full-sized humans.
doc…
Has anyboby mentioned, “thin is good!”?
OH hey ambrose!
Needless to say I agree with ambrose
Knock just a liiiiiiittle bit of roundness off the nose, cut a shallow V notch in the tail, slap a set of twinnies on it and…
BAM! you got a bitchin little fish!
I also agree with balsa, check the outline. Could just be the camera angle or lighting, but it looks like there just might be a flat spot or two.
I always feel for the bump. Whenever a flat spot is created, it creates two bumps, however small.
I close my eyes and run my hands along the rail.
If you are “in the moment” and paying attention, you can feel the break in the flow.
Just my 1.874 cents
you could always send it to me.
but seriously you can just glass it and ride it. doesnt ride well for you? give it to a grom, he will have a blast with it!
i like this lynch idea!!!
thanks for all the input guys, ill post updates in a few days when i get some work done

This was the first thing I thought of:

went with a round tail and for screwing around’s sake, am doing a single fin.
heres the fin i got for it

I’ll say it again
this board has the potential to
go down in hhhhistory as the
greatest board of all time in the known universe.
you have truely outdone yourself this time
all that is left is to get the wave of the century

allow yourself to complete manuvers you have never even tried
