fin placement on bodyboard?!
ok-I know this will rile up the purists here, but as an experiment, I put a couple of soft top fins on an old bodyboard-It is a too big, too wide bodyboard that I could not keep from sliding out whenever the wave got steep. the fins made the board a lot more fun to ride but I think I could improve t...

cutting edge board design
after extensive study of hydraulics and planing hull dynamics I have come up with a new board to enhance my quiver. I could not decide on the best placement for the wide point, so I made the whole board the wide point. Could not decide on fin placement, so I did not put any fins on at all. Could not...

Re: Bodyboards discuss (the soft paipo)
Rod, the board I looked at was pretty stiff-it had some kind of carbon mesh imbedded in it as well as stringers.
My comment about adding fins was only speculation—I did not buy this board...I was just curious about it.
Flojo

Re: Bodyboards discuss (the soft paipo)
Hey Rod, I am in the central California coast on a vacation and stopped by the Toobs factory to get Some answers to your questions. I took some photos also. The board is 22.5 at it widest point and tapers to 21.75 at the tail. You can see the rails in the attached photo. It also has a real nose rock...

Re: Bodyboards discuss (the soft paipo)
Hi Asier-Regarding those soft boards you just posted about- I have the Rocket 50( 4 ft 2 inch). I use it as a paipo and Have a lot of fun with it. It catches waves easily and is fast. I removed the keel fins that came with it and replaced Them with small fins which are stiffer. But I am no expert or...

Re: Things prone in general
The rocket 50 I spoke about above seems pretty sturdy. I dont think it would permanently dent from gripping or hitting a rock. It is stiff and light. It is a little floaty but I have fun with it in mushy, junky waves. It seems pretty quick too. I have noticed some cosmetic loss of paint on the nose ...

Re: Things prone in general
Hey Pes..I have a softech rocket 50 that works well as a bodyboard for me. As the name implies, it is 50 inches long. It is a little too short towork as a knee board for me—(I am 6 ft, 180 lbs)., but I have heard of others that have used it as a knee board. They make a bigger board that I have been ...

Re: What are you riding at the moment?
The t-belly on the left is my best board, but it is a little too short for me
If the waves are mushy. When I need a little more float for mushy,slow waves,
I have fun on the red 50 inch softech...surprisingly fast and catches waves easily.
But all of them have their charms—

Re: New Mega Platter
Hey JBW, after re-reading your initial post, I see that you already answered most of my questions, so I guess my question is do the benefits outweigh the difficulty of paddling out thru a beach break?. I can see a point break with a clear channel would be no problem but that is not the normal enviro...
