What bottom/ rail shape for 7'2"
« on: June 12, 2018, 04:10:34 AM »
Hi folks
I just wanted to ask for advice.
I am currently about to start making a new 7'2" foil board.
I only build boards for the love of it, i just need to ask, what bottom/rail shape should i use so that the thing tracks really well.?
I have built a 7'6" sup foil board which is my goto board, i have put bevelled rails for 3/4 of the board then hard rails at the rear, single concave going into double concave at the rear.
This board is good and does the job but it is a little to heavy at 11kgs, i think i might have put to much nose rocker in also 7".
So this time i have a very flat rocker with 4.5" of nose rocker and a tail kick.
Sort of a down wind shape rocker.
Should i put in a single concave from the front to back to help track and fast paddler, with bevelled parallel rails.
Or do i single to double concave, or flat ???.
Im lost any input would be awesome 😀
Thanks
Scuba
