How big is the chine on the rails? Or is that mostly the lap that you can see?

Nice going Trev!!

Would you usually ride a board like that Trevor?

I'll try to get a pic in daylight.
The chine doesn't seem obvious from the rail.

Its plan shape isn't much different from my Pacer. And same dimensions.
Just the bottom is unusual.

I'll ride it until I'm comfortable on it and see how it goes.

Good stuff, Trev. Cat looks impressed. Is it epoxy?

Just a regular cat, with fur and what not.
PU, apparently stinks too.

Everyone's a comedian.

Mostly the lap.
It's more clear if you lift the board up and look along the bottom from the nose.

On your new board, no?

Ok, I went back. Wrong colour

Alright, looks like my zipper has seized on my 4/3. Any tricks up the Realsurf sleeve?
