They go great backhand, very much a different animal to a short board/ fish twin. Just checked the dims, it's 6'8"X 20 1/2"X 2 3/4". It's got more volume packed into it than those numbers might suggest.
More about the hard edge part of the rail displacing the water in that clip, cool to see such a simple method of showing how the edge works between the transition from hard and the soft though (without any confusion / contribution involved by fins)
Thats an issue I see with the soft rail guns that are so popular / common at the moment, not enough downrail / hard edge anymore, they still look to work but wheres the squirt come from?
Scored some 6" thick Bondor PIR foam freezer panel offcuts and thought I'd save some money on a blank and the prohibitive postage getting it here. Lots of stumbling along the way but turned out okay in the end. Based on an Eric Christensen Encarnacion 8' x 22 1/4" x 3".

garyg1412. Hi mate. Hope ya well.
Wow, you’re one skilled guy, that’s a great shared process, thanks.
I love your incremental shots of shape and the overall process. I see a glue in one picture that I also use in carpentry, it’s a great product.
Your end result is beautiful mate, well done.
Have you ridden it since you’ve finished it ? Tattoo You Too. Good stuff. AW

I was thinking that’s a lot of foam to mow down but your pic with the saw explains why the stringer is pre shaped. Good stuff mate.

Spot on seeds. The only drawback is you have to make 3 stringers. Two on the outside a guides as you cut. Once you get one stringer done it's easy to make the other two with a trim router.
But on the plus side there is no planing to get your rocker shape.

That cheered me up. Golf green scene was great.
“Streaming (screaming? accent) out of a salt water fanny” was a great also.
