There's pigs flying round here
Very nice arkgee

Is that it? I waited how long and you post up one board. Lift your game Mr Goddard,I want more yeeew

That is an absolute thing of beauty - the master craftsman is back !

All being well Mr Goddard will spot this post.

My question is can you explain the difference in tail shapes between the two pins below on a 1 + 2 fin set up?
What are the advantages of either,what do they do?

rounded pin





pin

mac it obvious.


ones artwork is pin tail white



the other one's art work is pin tail blue




its the art that counts

and you wouldn't know art if it hit you in the head those timber boards you were slagging are pure art my friend,now hows your head
I'm asking Mr Goddard a serious design question not a ****** arty one okI intend to ask the same question with some other guy's I respect
tomorrow so until then stick the paint roller where the sun does not shine

its a hip thing Mac...if you like a bit of a hip in your planshape...ie a bit more curve between your feet...the blue one is the way to go...if you take the old..."measure the tail one foot up" theory...then that tail is quite narrow, but if you measure it up a couple feet you will find its almost an inch wider than the average rounded pin....its a planshape I have used for years...I used to look at photo's of boards where you could see the rear end of the deck, and noticed the water flow always had similar curve as it washed over the deck, no matter what the planshape was, so I tried to copy that curve...to be honest its never been a planshape that sells itself...most times I will sell them to people who have ridden one (and realised how good they go)...not off the shelf...IMO it is the true pintail...the rounded pin has more visual appeal to the average punter...but hey I am a pintail lover and think they all go good...as for the rounded pin...if you want to draw your planshape out ie longer lines...you really have to go that way...better stop now I'm starting to confuse myself

Firstly thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my question.
I'm a little confused,see I find my pin 10 looser than my 9.6 rounded pin.
I've been told the rocker is the major factor between these two boards
and the tail has an effect also but you need both tail and rocker to work.

they all have to interlock together...you cant have one without the other...thats why all surfboards go good....some better than others...trick is getting all those variables together...and then all those variables may suit me not you....never ending quest for the perfect board...is your ten footer smoother or looser I find the blue pin smoother than the area pin thus I named it "silk"...got to take the misses out for sunday arvo drinks...this conversation could go on for years catch you later

hit the button there . mac its as mr goddard says the hip thing. if you look at hp 666's and particularly my dc most have a good hip whether its a square or round, area pin etc.

there would be no way you could get the turns with a straighter tail line. also inter designed with the right rocker to suit the hip

Thanks mate hope you enjoyed the drinks

I find the pin looser than the rounded pin.GT from mct is a massive fan of the pin single which is a evoII plan shape with the pin,I'm not convinced on the single so I was thinking the same type board with training wheels.

This a drunken response. To me a pin sinks deeper in the water which makes steep hollow waves great,on other waves it sinks in deeper which makes it great for drawn out turns. A rounded pin gives you a inbetween a rounded square and a pin. With a thruster go a square,but I love a rounded pin with my quads,ball and socket as people.would say. I think big hollow waves go a pin,on other waves if you don't like the square go the rounded pin,the tail will sink more which will make your turns less responsive,but more drawn out. Which on a longboard is the best you will get anyway. Lost my train of Thomasgut now

that makes good sense and agreeable- have another drink



cheers

Mr Goddard - its great to have you back - top quality post and much appreciated from this end. Do you think that the wider egg type shapes then would benefit from a hip as such? I have noticed a few short boards recently with a pronounced hip.

Ted they would then end up lowoking lifeke a takayama scorpion.... Which I would prefer

it's that variables thing again Ted...and how short?...bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question ....I think when they get real short you need a bit of a parallel look to your planshape still with some curve, if that makes sense....but its how you want your board to perform...do you want squirley little turns? or do you want to draw out your lines...different strokes for different folkes.....trick is knowing what works for you...and that can take years of experimenting...and that is whats so magical about our sport



you mean something like this Chrispy

I am presently trying to replace my 5'10" Firewire Sweet Potato. Have some foam in the shed presently getting a workout. So its going to be a similar type of shape to that board of yrs in the blue but with a diamond tail and a bit less foam at the nose. Deep concaves.

Funny thing is that 2 weeks ago I brought some pigments so I can do a resin swirl in blue and white

Oh Mr Goddard.send that beauty up for.a.test ride.and I will let you know. That looks like so much fun. What size is it?
