I have been thinking of a old idea that keeps coming back.

I had a shortboard with a hull from the nose to about a 1/4 down. {supposedly a cathedral hull}

It had some good points in the shorty.

So my way of thinking is[stop laughing] to put one in a longboard. i want it it to take up about the top 1/3 of a 9'ft board. i want it there for the fact when i was on the shorty,the board never wanted to pearl. It would always seem to keep its nose above water.

So with that being the case,when noseriding the boards nose should not sink,im imagining it would almost be like a see saw. So now i struggle with the counter balance of the tail.

Would a big tail lift work? A- to help with turning and B- to keep more water scooping over it....

i will make this
