Big Wave surf board shape
Hey Brains trust..
I'm after everyone thoughts on what is good big wave shape.
I have been loving the Lano to Wedge downwinder lately, especially when it is over a 3m swell..
I am also enjoying the waves down south and up gero way on the bigger swell days..
I have a bit of spare time coming up so I'm going to shape myself a bigger wave board something that will preform its best around double over head.. I'm not surfing super hollow stuff at that size.. the boards I currently have are good for Perth downwinders.. Looking at adding a downsize board to my quiver.. I am 173cm and 70kgs
My plan is find a shape that will be suitable... design something similar in boardcad... buy a Kite blank from Colin Earle. I have a heap of 6oz glass and epoxy at home from pervious board builds.. so thinking 2 layers of 6 oz on the deck and single on the bottom. maybe some carbon over where my front foot goes..
thoughts??
