7'10 Surfing Tonight at the House

The surf is crap, but I'm putting my time in learning the new board. Jacky thinks I look better surfing it. To me, I just feel weird. Such a different feel after being on a fish template the last 11 months.

Terrific! now you have to add that board to your long list of boards you had. Do you remember what year you started? I remember starting a little after you
Do you have plans for a 2nd board?

Aloha

I have plans for a few more. As soon as decide what to shape, I'll shape more.; October 13, 2011 at 9:01 PM

to truly understand it, you have to do incremental designs. change only one thing at a time. thats long process, but the only possible scientific approach, I would think?
My bet your next step will be to make it an inch or two wider...; October 14, 2011 at 1:01 AM

Next step won't be more width. I'm stable regardless of length on anything in the 29.5-30.0 range.

The new board is stable as a house boat. Now that I've got my rough water safety blanket, the next step is likely to push my limits again.

Maybe 7'6 x 29.5 x 4.38; October 15, 2011 at 9:48 AM
