Hello,
I want to get a SimSup or Tomo based Custom board, but located in the south of germany our local
shapers have quite some experiences in building windsurfing boards but not in SUP or
Surfboard shapes.
Mountains, beer and brezels are more common here than waves
Custom boards from the US or AUS are not an option (shipping), Eurobased only Gong possible, but they have huge waiting times for a board and located in south of France are not really "local" for me.
So why custom and not big brand boards like a JP Slate or Naish Raptor or AHD Sealion?
I'm not sure what JP and Nasih offer is exactly what i want since this board should also work as a Windsup/Foilboard getting a Tuttlebox as a
center box. (yeah, weird, i know)
The AHD Sealion boards, who also have a foil option now, imo are not up to date with their shapes anymore, reading all the stuff about Simsup and Tomo.
My idea would be a board around 8' x 30" to 8'4 X 31", 4 1/2 to 4 7/8", 130 to 140 liters, to support my 90 kg / 200 lbs in choppy SUP conditions or when putting a windsurfing rig on.
With this measures i guess it has to be more Simsup than Tomo concept. Or?
Outline and rails according. Bottom concave to double concave V in the tail (like Simsups)
So now my question to all you in the know out there:
What rockerline would you suggest for such board?
Windsurffing rockers would be to flat?
Im thinking of a staged rocke, flat scoop 4" on the first 3' , flattish from 3' to 7', than tailkick to 2" of tailrocker.
Is this any good for SUSing, i have no clue?
If somebody wants to design something like that in 3DX od Acuushaper etc. your welcome with everything you suggest.
Thank you all.
Alex
