Custom??

[jako89]

Allright guys, time to order a custom. Currently have an '04 4play Hardy 42".
Want another crescent tail... am 181cms and 75kgs.

Whatda guys recon i get dimension wise?

Have never ordered a custom before, and need some guidance. Am thinking of mixing the hardy with an old skool 7-x? (Anyone got the dimensions?)

And what company? QCD? Funkshen?

Any input welcome.

Cheers

can't really go wrong with Funkshen QCD or any of the other companies, they all make amazing boards.

Figure out the full dimensions of the boards you want to fuse for a start

if your asking for dimensions on the internet you probably shouldn't be getting a custom

Sweet. Cheers

Went and measured the lol, how's this for similiar. I thought they were more different than this.

4play Hardy (2004)

Length 42
Nose 11 ¾
Tail 18
Width 21 ½

Morey 7-x
Length 42.125
Nose 11
Tail 18.25
Width 22 ½ @12

7-x has narrower nose, but is slightly wider.... What difference would that have in performance do you recon?

And Marty haha, your prob right, i went and measured them anyway, thought i might save myself the effort haha.

in regards to custom companies unknown boards are slighty cheaper, another 20-30 bucks (depending on the options) then its funkshen and QCD are the most expensive with a Dow board with stringer, nose bulbs channels and mesh for about $360 add another $50 bucks if you want a PP core

Unknown boards are made in QLD, funkshen in WA and QCD in NSW
Another option is the ATD boards (Alistair Taylor Design) there cheaper at about $320 for a custom with all the bells and whilstes but the board is made in a different way with a different type of core etc.

With the dimensions go on the QCD website www.qcdboards.com its got all the info you need like to find the width of a board "A good rule of thumb is to multiply the board’s length x 0.506 to get the width e.g. 41.5” x 0.506 = 21” " its got all those rules of thumb thingos

Thanks for all the info rex.

QCD site has stacks of info. Will be reading through it lol.

its not really a custom if your asking for dimensions from other people - its supposed to be a custom board for you.
ride heaps of boards, read some info & go from there.

if i were you i'd email the shaper, not ask for stuff on here.

Three steps ahead of ya mate. QCD emailed, Unknown emailed, Funkshen emailed, begging friends to borrow boards.

Just tryin to get all the info i can ey?!
