Shadows...




Been a while. haven't had the chance to surf much and the boards I have finished recently have barely been given the opportunity to get wet.
Anyways, had a couple of surfs and absolutely loving the ZedSled. has me thinking about all sorts of funky short things. More of that style to come.
So, after riding the Zed Sled in up to 4 foot, I started thinking maybe a bit of volume isn't such a bad thing...(der!) having the extra paddle made all the diference to the wave count and flowed a heap better. Helps when your surfing is as bad as mine!
So I took the tried and true Justin template, made him a little wider ala the jellybean and banged a wing in there to loosen up the planshape.
Flattish nose rocker with quite a bit of tail lift late after the front fins and the double wing quad double concave bottom with a hullish entry...
PHEW! Lots of bits and pieces in there but primarily want to try the volume thing.
Flat deck, steep rails with a lot of edge and about 2 5/8 through the guts.
Same dimensions otherwise as Justin the first but lots more volume.
If it feels good I will refine the dimensions a bit more.

Just waiting on my new boxes (yay!) and we'll see how she goes.
