Ok - I'm planning to order a Goddard 906 , 23 x 2 7/8 allrounder stick - I need to gibber to Mister Artiste Arkgee with regard to rail details so i can't give you that right now , the tail will be rounded pin with a fullish nose yet not your full-on noserider.
The colour will be similar to the purple beast I've unashamedly pimped up recently with the same "birthmarking"
Fin specs - I will need to consult our resident Guruswami lacey possibly or go with the shapers reco

Is this 62 Kosher

Pup,with all due respect.

Mate first you need to ask yourself,what YOU want in a board and what conditions will it used.It can be an expensive mistake ordering something YOU THINK is the go how ever I've always had a plan like you mention but always run it past well you know who

I like your plan btw, but 23 wide maybe you could come down from that a tad.

Well you know who?????? mate at the mo , I'm in love lust with a pair of twin sisters their names are McT & Goddard I can't make up my mind which one I desire so I'm going to try bed the two of the loverlies cheers for the advice dad

I am ordering two boards..well I've actually already ordered one of them but won't be getting it for a while..and won't be letting on what it is as its a pop out The other however is a mini simmons which I've been talking to a shaper about quite a bit and although It won't come to fruition for a few months, Its going to be 7'8" in length...fairly wide and fairly thick, blue bottom/rails and pinlines and that's all I have to say at this time. Oh I guess you could call it a midi simmons as it's fairly well a mid length

Yeah I love the look of those tiny simmons but know I just wouldn't be able to surf them..too heavy and too crap at surfing (me). There's a bloody awesome shaper over here in Northland who's going to create it for me. I have some computer images of the design but can't seem to post them on here?? I'll post pics of it and the final dimensions as we go, but work won't begin for a couple of months yet..very excited about it though!

Hey boofy I saw your little mate on his blue one the other week having way too much fun

Congrats Boof - Goddard

Don't go too big Boof this is my favourite stick at present 5"4" x 23.5" x 2.5" and I've got 10kg on you. I find it paddles really well with the pulled in nose and deep concave. Doesn't like fat waves but in anything sucky from waist to head high it's an absolute hoot.




Since these pics I've added another set of plugs inbetween these two to loosen it up as a kneelo but it's an awesome simmons/fishy thing with the fins back.

Great topic Mac

I am looking at getting a new board sometime in the near future . Probably something along the lines of Ron Goddards Nimbus . So looking at about 9 foot , 22 wide , 2 - 2 5/8 deep . I don't weigh that much about 70 kg so should paddle pretty easy at that size .

Most of the surf here would be about 2-3 foot either point or reef break so don't need too much nose rocker . Personal preference like the pin tail . Undecided as to single fin or thrusters . Any tips greatly appreciated.

Still totally confused as to the different rails ( 50/50 , 40/60 Chine rails ) and what difference they make .

Colour probably same as the old board but in cowboy blue / yellow colour .

Smicko looks sweet mate thing is for me popping up these days is a sort of two stage process ( I could prob do some stretching and exercise to rectify this but I hate exercise) I dont land with my feet in position everytime and with a board like that I would stuff up for sure whats got me thinkin about gettin a shorter board is the Hart K/board gun I bought its 6,2x 23x 2 something and paddling in I have thought geez I could prob flick to my feet on this have to try it when no ones looking

Mate me too, I'm so pants at getting to my feet.. I cannot spring up..I do heaps of pull ups, dips, crunchies, press ups for upper body fitness, I run quite a lot and i'm not bad for my size and age either (38 yrs, 100kg, 6'3", half marathon 1hr 35 mins..not spectacular but no couch potato) I'm sh1t at getting up my long old legs and big old feet cause havoc..hence me going super wide (?) for MY simmons!

You guys don't want to know about my new boards.

1 x 6'2 and 5 new 666's. I watched one get shaped last night... Very nice.


I do want a LB though, I have always had one except for now. Time to get back on the nose....

Hey Mac, I saw this and as this is a design thread, I'd thought I'd put it up, he is a designer..

There is a serious bit at the end


Thomas has designed products for more than 25 years. He was a designer at Apple in the team
that reinvented the beige computer box. In 1998 he started his own studio and went on to create
a string of innovative designs like the Flow snowboard binding, Smith Warp the first modern
ski goggle and Neil Pryde windsurfing sails design language that is still in use 10 years later.
His projects has resurrected brands, created new companies and sometimes revolutionized industries.
Common to all of these experience is his quest to create new experiences for the user.

A leaving his corporate job at Apple Thomas had time to surf more and he started to tinker with
the longboard shape. After several years of prototyping he ended up with a range of experimental
boards that was featured in The Surfers Journal in 2007 in an article called "Feeling VS Decimal Dust"
The four radically different shapes sought to explore how a shape could alter your experience on
a wave in different wave, aiming for the shape to amplify your different moments on a wave.

On of the shapes worked so well that Thomas decided to see how far the idea could go by applying his
everyday design process and acquired knowledge to refine and produce a different kind of longboard.
What began as a few experimental boards shaped in his Bay Area studio has become a full line of
surfboards praised by open minded surfers all over the world for their true performance advantages.


Where did it come from....
http://meyerhoffersurf.com/about/



Okay I was actually looking at these little things..

meyerhoffersurf.com/horsepill/index.php

Lots of volume and not to radical, someone with better tech knowledge than me can explain all the bits hopefully.. Doggie?? CMC?

Love the input SP

Could have sworn sp said he wouldn't be seen dead with a meyerhoffer

No I said they're like fat girls, Love to have a go of one but just don't want my mates to see me.
I cop enough **** for riding LBs and midlengths etc, I can only imagine the verbal taunts I would get if rolled up with one of them. Most of my mates are SBrs so I'm a easy target.

My general therory with any design for use in the water is if it looks like poop it probably is (kinda my general teory for everything really). Nice smooth lines are the go.

-

I've started on the next one - 9'8"x23.25-23.5"x3.25-3.5", kinda of a loggy nose rider cruiser single fin

Plan shape loosely based on the McT neo/redline, Takayama Jacobs/DT 3 I like the look of the nose and tail. But not too pulled in that it wont' have the planing surface to support my 105kg.

Probably another Diamond Tail

Flattish rocker, less then my "HP" board but not too little

Bottom contours set up for a good log/nose rider/cruiser so no double barrel down the back. I'm wondering what would happen if I hulled the nose a little.

For the rails I'd like a "loggy" rail forward but pulled down in the tail similar to the redline or my hull I just have issues with 50/50 rails through to the tail can't surf'm worth crap (personally)

Colors - light grey tint with a ø24" blue tink circle around mid board that wraps around the rail

Shapper - not sure probably 4-5 month from ordering it, the short list - Goddard (need a good excuse to get bck to Coffs), Del Rosso with Wilde and Sam Tehan throwen in the mix as they make some great looking boards

another to the collection soon pics will follow maybe a MCT

only a maybe??????
