Ha, thanks guys!!. The tail is staying, as i tried to make a foam plug to fit in there, and f*ck me do i have 2 left thumbs, or whatever it is that means you're crap at doing fiddly stuff!.
Gotta be enough foam surely, and this will be for summer anyway, so it wont need to be a long distance paddler so should be ok.
Fins will be 2+1, but i might also add some plugs for keels and twins, as i have more than a few sets of keels and twins. I have been mucking around with placement, and trying to fins a happy medium with the front set of plugs, so it can double as side fins for the 2+1, but then also front fins for a quad, and the same with the rear plug, for keels, twins, and quad rears. Not sure it'll work, so i might just do dedicated twin plugs ( rear of fins @ 7" up ), and dedicated 2+1 plugs( rear of fins @ 13 up ).
Glass will be 4x44, as its surfblanks red, and the deck is dead flat hahah, so pretty hard. Plus i want it to be floaty!!.
Rails are medium low and boxy, with no hard edges, though i reduced the tuck through the tail, so its kind of a down rail in the tail, with no hard edge. I also increased the tuck from my front foot, to the nose, so the nose has turned up rails, so it hopefully wont catch!.
Rocker is like 3 1/2N x 2"T, so im expecting fast, and flat surfing hehe, which is cool by me, and im hoping for cheater 5's ( but might be dreaming there )
Cheers guys, i should be finished shaping in the next 2 weeks. Will post more pics then.
