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 determine the exact amount of rocker needed, so I put some in the nose and some in the tail-and made the board thin enough that it flexes so I can change the rocker as needed if I can ever figure out what what rocker I need.
epoxy boat paint covers this work of art and some sand sprinkled into the top paint provides deck traction.
48” x 19”
had trouble staying within project budget -cost was approx $27.
took it out yesterday in small waves with offshore winds and had a frickin’ blast.
