So, i finally shaped my own board!
Its 6'7 x 22 x 3, beaked nose and shallow diamond tail with a single to double v in the tail! 4 1/8 nose rocker and 2" tail.
50/50 full rails with a n extra band off the deck
I chose to do a tint and lap cut in the hope to leaarn a little more a little quicker!
My hope with this board was to help me get out the back on the heavier days, and get me in early on 2-6' cornish waves. I wantes the extra volume to keep the paddle easy but with the hope of more top to bottom feel than my 7' egg.
Anyway the process has been interesting and only a few issues to really cause a problem. I needed to blend the deck out just a little more, you cant aee it but just feel a slight edge on my toe side of the deck.
There was a small air bubble near the nose in the deck lap.
Rail isnt down for the long enough in the tail ( does that even make sence?)
And the major issue i had - laminating the deck i just didnt have enough heat and the deck lam became a little thick and uneven coulour wise. No problem with it being soft or un mixed but i had to do way more sanding (epoxy and 6oz glass) and visulaly its not as good as id hoped
Just the fins and gloss coat to do now
Lessons learnt, the next board will be all good!
So what fins set up do you all think i should go for? I was initally thinking 4+1 for versatility but perhaps single fin????
