these are difficult to get the shapes from the limited blanks available. I didn't want to skimp and undershape these XXL versions. I had to use 82A it's over 4" thick blank to shape this 6'8" out of.
Al, thanks for being patient, these XXL versions were a bit of a project to get done. I had to formulate new rockers and get them into the 82A blank to make sure these came out with all the volume I wanted in the designs. This shape is very unique especially in the XXL volume there are no blanks available in smaller sizes..
What about a larger size like 7' or 7'2 You know my short board size... Finally got to ride my no hull twinzer in ok surf paddles well although it is squirly on the take off I have to get use to the twinzer fast once going though!
I always have something unique in the works, if not for my shapes, some other shapers blanks I'm working on. Nice to be able to mix it up. Be on the look out for new shapes in 2012!
Nate, your board should not be squirelly, I think you need larger fins. That board isn't shaped to be squirelly, if anything is should be on the stiff side with alot of drive. What size fins did you get? You should be using atleast 5.25 - 5.5".
I am using the future twinzer fins I will put in the Apia twin fins with the small front fins they are larger... Loving all of The new boards are all the longboards single fins?
dims?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a killer - what's the fin setup for this one?
6-8 x 22 x 3.1 or something like that. Can't remember dimensions once the board is shaped. Hardrive is full. nenenenenegatory. Quad.
ReplyDeletethese look fun, hmm....
