A friend and i have been playing around with a few ideas for a Down winder style board. We didn't want a full on distance machine, all we want to do is bomb some swells when they come up and cruise on the calmer days..
These are a few concepts we have come up with:
We thought about a quad with tow board fin angles,basing it off some open water skis
This is a ski concept from a WA company that looked the goods. Thought about similar lines, but went down another path.


We've been playing around with boat design for a while and wanted to see if the 2 elements (boats & sups) could be combined and have something in common, that would work well in a paddle board environment.
These are some designs that we want to try.
Ive had experience with fins at different cants and angles and i really like the twin fin feel and stability as opposed to single fin ( i hate single fins). Adding this concept to this type of hull might add that special feel we've been looking for
