Great looking board !
You too a good idea and improved it in my book.
Nice compromise on the nose...looks stronger
Really good pad and stomper placement
lighter & stronger is reason enough to copy a good design, nice redoux!
The Hull design "talking point" is that they
have to be ridden from the tail.
I am a bit conflicted about that.
I am a fan of "Chined Rails"... because the made my longboards easier to turn "rail to rail" without standing on the stomper, so when running down the line, you could pump speed turns while maintaining a faster trim point than standing on the tail.
I have felt that
some vids of the hull rippers have appeared to have too much "Big board bounce" at speed. I seems to me that this is caused by staying on the tail when pumping down the line.
Why the Chines...if not to transition faster rail to rail?
If you are always on the tail... you don't use the chines.
The rounder "Hull" design up forward appears to promote bounce by creating lift every time the nose hits the water.
It seems to me that the design as a whole would benefit from shifting your weigh forward a bit when running down line.
Maybe your flatter rocker would ease that...
I would be interested to hear your take on that impression.
Thanks for posting so many good pictures of your version of the Hull design... looks like an improvement to me.
Lawn looks perfect... go SUSing
