Hi guys I have been reading post here for awhile and finally decided to go for it! I have been in contact with Girvin who post pretty regularly on the site since he lives in the same area as me and has given me a great bunch of stuff to work with. I don't want to keep bugging him with every question I so Girvin if your reading this THANK YOU so much for all your help.
First off a little bit about myself I'm about 5'7 and 145-150 pounds and basically surf knee high to head high waves in the summer. I'm up in BC Canada so I only really get to surf in the summer when I'm home from school. I have been surfing mainly a 6'2 Kane Garden quad fish for the last few years and love it but it is defiantly way too big for me and would like to make something smaller. I bought a kit from Greenlight this month thanks to their awesome sale they had on but I haven't quite figured out all the dimensions yet.
With help from Girvin, I think I want to make something around 5'10 19x 2 1/4 I don't think I want a true short board since the conditions in the summer here are not normally that great. I was thinking of more eggish but still with a slight point to the nose but put a bit more foam upfront.
The main problem I'm having is deciding on the rocker. should I go with a low rocker like 1'' tail rocker and 3'' nose rocker or should I put a bit more on it.
Also what sort of bottom should I put on it I was just thinking of a light V
Thanks for all the help and I'm really stoked about this and will posting pictures of my progress
