  2. Is that a double wing diamond tail? Or just a hip diamond tail? I can't tell. Look really good.

  3. thanks jim! sorry about the poking tease. hope you have a sense of humor. :)

    Alex, it's just a couple subtle sets of wings, bumps, hips, break, what ever you want to call them is fine with me.

  6. Jim, Lol,..That's what I try to keep telling myself. After all they are just surfboards.... that bring so much stoke and joy to us, in a rather chaotic world.

  9. Would a board this size have more or less volume then my last kneeboard you shaped for me?

  10. Jims Prodigal Son shape = 41.89 liters

    Damo kneeboard = 47.81 liters

    this shape would be noticeably less.

  11. Damo the difference of 6 liters would be approx 366.14 cubic inches.

  12. Damo you would have to bump this shape up to 7'5.5" x 22" x 3" if you want to keep it at 3" thick. You can move the width, thickness, length around.

  13. Wayne - Had a chance to try it out this weekend- not ideal conditions and with a 5/4/3 and 45 degree water, kinda tough feeling it out. Definitely paddles and catches waves good though, must be that "proven rocker" LOL Jim
