This board was not an easy shape due to no blanks available for the dimension I wanted to maintain. This shape is 7'4" x 23.5" x 3.28" glassed thickness.
Rider is 6'3" 280lb, you will not find many shapers willing to tackle a board in this type of volume, a new deck rocker template needed to be formulated and provided and placed in the correct area of an 82A USblank. I could have taken the easy route and shaped a board at 3.12 with blanks already available but I didn't want to scrimp on the rail volume and the thickness as I felt the board was already on the smaller volume for the riders experience with the length he chose at 7'4".
What are the dims on this big boy? Looks great!
