Merry Christmas! Awesome that the pier shots are back! Looks like the new board fits Jacky perfect!
You need to come surf. Jan is a good month for surfing the piers.
Hi Dwight
I'm considering taking your plans to a custom board maker here in Scotland. It's good to see all your pictures to get an idea of whether your waves are similar to mine - I think they are.)
I went really short and wide (6'4 x32.5") with a Gong board recently - surfs great but not fun to paddle. Does your board paddle well? ie tolerate a good few paddle strokes to get a wave if not quite on the right spot and happy to paddle from peak to peak?
I'm 155lb so I guess I could go with either your board or Jacky's?

Andy, the board paddles straight as an arrow compared to my old Naish 7'8 Hokua.
I think, it paddles super straight because the template is balanced. Meaning, the wide point is in the middle, and the nose and tail widths are not radically different.
Catching waves is super easy compared to the Hokua. I was very shocked it could be this much better. Surf Machine said the Jacky size catches mushy waves much easier than his 8'0 PSH ripper. He said it's 40% faster than his PSH too.
If you are a good SUP surfer, the Jacky model for sure will be the model. If you want everything to be easier go with the Dwight size. Brad weighs about 155 lbs. He rips on both sizes. He's ordering the Jacky size as soon as he sells his 8'0 PSH.
Andy,
Make sure your shaper follows my thickness flow throughout the board. I'm not sure these computer shaped copies are matching the thickness exactly. The computer tends to take the thickness at the middle and just draw the same arc to the tail.
This is not correct. The thickness is carried back behind center a good distance.
