alternative or crazy

shaped a 9'0" bit similar yesterday actually, heaps of rocker, lots of bottom contours, rolled entry into subtle single into double that gets deep then into a vee out the tail, quite alot of vee too...pulled in the tail to a small rounded square, ultra lite blank, glassed too light, throwing some new carbon on it...its heading to the Aussie titles on Friday, then Sri Lanka soon after that....
I have been playing with some different rails and rail edges in the tail and I put them on this one too, looking for maximum release and response.... been doing a few hi-perf longboards of late and enjoying it...might even do myself one soon.....

yeah, you got the pick of them. Props on the choice of your missus. Meant both ways you can read it

Have to say, thought the bodyboard inspired one looked like an absolute dog of a thing.

What's the Tolhurst 8'er like?
I'll be looking for a bigger board in summer, but don't like many of the sub-9' boards going around.

imagine having one that rides like f d h f and looks like it as well
cheers huie

yeah, I hear ya Huie

Shape sounds interesting Mark.
What sort of rails? Or still hush hush?

The link was interesting Chillin. Closest to what I'm after that I've seen in a stock board.
I'm not much heavier and don't noseride, least not on anything under 9'6", so it sounds good.

more square edges for release, really tryin to get more perf in such long boards...will get some pics when my glasser is finished mate...no hush hush here.....
