Re: Six channels
looks sweet huie, speedneedle its funny that you were mentioning clinkers slanting the other way as that is what fong has been raving about since him and me decided to shape a board, will be interesting to see what he does.
no, Im not a surfer, Im just a garbage man".

Re: Six channels
Josh, a six channel shooter with no parabolic stringer (due to production issues) but timber deck as the stringer? In epoxy of course. Do-able ??

Re: Six channels
7'7" six channel AB is flying over here right now.
Like driving a knife blade into the heart of Sunset Beach.

Re: Six channels
I don't know how Josh does his - a fair bit of secret sauce no doubt - but you could do channels in a sandwich construction with parabolic rails - but it'd involve a bit of fcuking around. What you could do is shape the channels into the EPS and make slices in the d-cell where the channels are and then vacuum bag the d-cell with the inside glass only. You'd then have to glue strips of d-cell over the walls of the channels where the EPS would be showing, and shape them down. Then do the outside glass with a standard lay up. Most people use a rocker bed to keep the rocker sweet when bagging - using this method you'd have to use a rocker bed that matches the deck rocker or do it it with a normal rocker bed with weights on the deck when bagging the keep the rocker. A bit of extra time and effort but doable. Obviously Josh would have to do a R&D board - (a 6'3" x 18 1/4 step up round pin quad would be best) which I'd be willing to ride for him.bohdidontsurf wrote:Josh, a six channel shooter with no parabolic stringer (due to production issues) but timber deck as the stringer?

. classic, and interesting post..lot frocking around
it's interesting how surfboard design has kinda involved too wat was cheaper and easier too make
thats just my take, and other thoughts
and hiue....book me in for a test sesssion
p.s nick nack .....please, aren't u suppose be working over there

Re: Six channels
Pinhead I think channels and parabolic rails would work against each other.
Channels like the centre line certainty of a stringer down the guts.
hmm fongy what do I like about ABs over here? They are fcuken fast and cover ground. They paddle fast for their volume. They like to fade and do big deep bottom turns and they always come out of the turn fast. Plus the channels give you a lot of feeling and feedback at speed. They're a bit of a free-surfer's board -- they don't surf in the round arcs that surf contest judges like to see. But they get you straight to the point in a way no other boards quite do -- for me anyway.
and I AM working!! I'm actually quite tired from working! Better go for another surf I spose.

Re: Six channels
Yes possibly, that's why I'm thinking quad. the channels would stiffen the bottom skin though, in the way corrogations stiffen corrogated iron. So you might get some odd flex effects as wellNick Carroll wrote:Pinhead I think channels and parabolic rails would work against each other.

Re: Six channels
Parabolic rails?? really, aren't rails curved anyway so why call them parabolic?
Parabolic stringer? hmm well yes its curved but is it a true parabola?
why not just say rail stringers instead or is that not catchy enough
anyway, carry on...
oh and Pin head, that would be a fucken lot of work mate and knowing d-cell, very frustrating too.
too much effort for little reward in my opinion

Re: Six channels
Yes, Parabolic is not technically correct.
The name stuck somehow, but for the technically-correct minded, I call them "Dual-axis stringers", which sounds even more spiffy...
OK, I'm cancelling all talk of channels in composites until either I have a lot of time on my hands (not likely) or some very rich channel bottom afficionado lays down some coin for R&D...
The boards I make take twice as long as it is!!!! So I'd be sticking to all the other design elements.

Nick, can you explain your comment, re paddling fast for their volume? I don't really understand that.Nick Carroll wrote: hmm fongy what do I like about ABs over here?

Always fancied a six channel board after riding a mate's Matt Hoy model PD eons ago-and it flew!

Re: Six channels
carefull what u wish for josh
now, just asking more expernced folk
say your running channels much like huies...but instead a uniform size....u made the entry twice as wide as the exit
wat would that do :?
i'm thinkin it would funnel more water @ greater speed....thus creating lift and less drag
mind u....i got no idea
( yes feel free quote that )
