6'8" x 12.5" x 20.5" x 15.5" x 2.75" Shortboard
I've slowly been working on a new shortboard over the past couple of months. It is inspired by two "magic" boards that I've ridden in the past; a 6'10" Costa Azul that I rented in Cabo and a 6'6" CI Whip. This board is 6'8" x 12.5" x 20.5" x 15.5" x 2.75" with a single concave starting at ~12" and transitioning to a double concave at midpoint and extending to the trailer fin with vee off the tail. I took a lot of time and experimenting on other boards to get the concaves and fin positioning right. The concaves begin right after the rails tuck, so I had to use 9 degree cant FCS fusion plugs for the uppers and 5 degree cant for the rears. Also, I stuck pretty close to the McKee fin positioning doctrine to provide maximum speed and reliability. Here is how it looks so far...
