Good questions...The outline of TB needs to be considered relative to all of its other design features, which includes the use of fins. The outline shape of the finned TBs speaks to the difference between finned and finless prone-board shapes. The TB designs are driven by the use of fins for primar...

If I have read it and the reason for the question, the design of nomastomas is very far below the measures recommended by Larry and this is precisely my curiosity I see in the designs very much like board rails contact with the water due to the narrowing of the nose http://mypaipoboards.org/intervi...

I'm very curious about the narrowness of your boards, in what improvement compared to a more oval design? with nose wider? thank you very much, you are an inspiration for me have you seen the Goddard sketches? Asier. Good notes on them. http://mypaipoboards.org/interviews/LarryGoddard/Designs/thumb...

How do you find the concave deck for positioning? I really like to have my hip and elbow way over on the engaged rail (but maybe that's a finless thing) although I see stand up surfers foot position also goes over towards the engaged rail.
Do you lie in the central position for both lefts and rights?

if you are willing to screw them on in 10 different places to find where they work best then it will be an interesting learning process. (dont forget toe angles too) I do think you are inherently fighting against an initial design that isnt the best for turning in the first place. My shorter wider p...

There's nothing particularity strange about a composite design. I had one made by Tom but have only surfed it in very small conditions. I'm planning to surf it over Easter. Mine has a cork deck, wood bottom. BWS-bottom.jpg BWS-deck.jpg BWS_foil.jpg BWS_tailView.jpg I have another composite board th...

Plus updated info and new models on his other prone craft https://www.tomwegenersurfboards.com/models/surfie-bellyboards The "big wave surfie" looks interesting, although I find that mixing foam and wood is a strange idea.[/quote] If you see cork as foam and wood as fiberglass then all you have is ...

Plus updated info and new models on his other prone craft https://www.tomwegenersurfboards.com/models/surfie-bellyboards[/quote] That's very interesting I had not seen his updated board :o What's very interesting to me is that when I did my first board 6 years ago I basically took his hull design fr...

good morning, I would like to take up this topic again How have the experiences gone over these years? have you used it a lot? I've been thinking about making a normal handplane, but I have worn out clavicles and seeing your idea made me want to become one myself too the measurements are in red, it...

On my long and narrow plywood paipo, when I turn, I feel like the pivot point is at the front of the board, the back of the board just reacts by "drifting". This is when I ride on a very forward position. It doesn't always turns this way (in a gently drifting move), sometimes it just side slips (so...

Flex may add soft landing to a bodyboard when landing airs, but other than that I find the stiff fiberglass board better at everything else. faster and turns better.

soled sock option.

over the last few years I have been trying to find fin socks that allow me to walk over rocks without holing easily.

found these and have them on order

it would be an alternative in easy to find material

It will be interesting to hear your experience. I rode this board a few times. Garrett2.jpg Garrett5.jpg It was fun on fuller, down the line waves, but it didn't hold an edge in a tube as well as my current board. The board is a lot thicker than it looks - about 3". That's an extreme one! :o I see ...

if you want to get those edges smooth try a hot clothes iron I'll have to see if we have one of those around the house; I wouldn't know offhand :lol: Seriously though I have to clean out a little resin seepage and then if we do have an iron I'll give it a go. I have to go way back in the mental fog...

Is this a place that specializes in puddings? My memory you've got a pretty small car. Someone else drove? Yes, they do have a pudding named after the county where this fish village resides. We went in my friend's car but it's just a ford fiesta. We will drive any tiny car anywhere being Europeans....
