Hey I'm interested in making a new "do it all" shortboard for myself. I'm keen to see what people think of one board quiver style boards that seem pretty popular these days. Keeping it up to date with the shorter wider theme too. Aesthetically the curves look nice and they look like well balanced boards. But how they surf is what's most important.
I'm 5'9" and 145ish lbs and will be surfing in waist to just overhead beachbreak waves.
In my head I'm thinking...
5'6" x 19" or thereabouts, widepoint about an inch or so up,
round tail
low nose rocker
medium - aggressive tail rocker
quad (maybe thruster?)
pretty standard single - double concave
I know these are all the rage and Lost. have an aptly named model ( http://lostsurfboards.net/boards/quiver-killer/). I was thinking of basing it off someting like that, but reducing nose rocker and increasing the thickness under the chest and even maybe width in the nose.
My question is, do these boards tend to not work well, as you're trying to achieve too much with one board? If anyone's made something like this I'd love to know about them and how they went.
Cheers :)
