![]() Remember what you looking at is the spec for the Aku shaper that spits out a rough shape that has fine lines left over. ![]() But I am sure in a emergency, they'll use a dollar store screwdriver if it's in reach. A professional mechanic may demand to use Snap-on, Mac tools, etc. More the skill on how you use it versus what it is made of. content of the soil the tomato was grown in. I don't want to know ( or probably scared to find out ! ) where the cow was, what wheat the flour came out of, what the p.h. When I order a Big Mac, I take it to the table and enjoy eating it. You might want to grab a copy of that book Jaffa reviewed and explore the intricacies of board designītw, the 'aku shaper' is the blueprints that get put into a computerised shaping machines dtc Surf God Posts: 3833 Likes: 0 post Liked in: 0 post Joined: Mon 4:58 amīenji, you are just confusing yourself more and more. Not a 'high performance' board, but not a fish type board - more toward the standard shortboard end of the spectrum Its fairly wide though with a thick middle, so that will aid paddling and wave catching. Harder to paddle and requires a later take off. It does have an almost continuous rocker (ie curves from nose right through to tail, apart from a small flat bit in the middle), which aids turning but will generally mean you need to maintain your speed (hence you need a steeper wave). that said, I suspect its good for steeper type waves, probably wont work too well on fat or point waves. If you find a wave that it doesn't seem to work on, then you will know not to use it. It works, it works - why are you even thinking of your next board already? Just enjoy having fun and using this board - use it for the next 2 or 3 years, or more So I wouldn't worry about the rest of it. Given your first two sentences (having a blast, inspiring confidence), its a board that is suited to you at this stage. It's also got hard edgy rails from about 8cm further forward than the front side fins too.īenjl SW Pro Posts: 685 Likes: 0 post Liked in: 0 post Joined: Wed 8:50 pm Location: Auckland, New Zealand It's an EPS board with the 'futurelite' construction of carbon parabolic rods running around the rails of the board with carbon tail patches too. ![]() Would any of the more experienced forum members or shapes be able to tell me what the board might be made for / best suited to / or other characteristics that it would've been made for? I can see its got a flat entry, light single to moderate double concave and has decent entry rocker with a bit of tail rocker but I don't have any of my current boards dimensions at the nose or tail etc to compare it to. He came back with the attached spec sheet which is a lot more detail than what i'm used to seeing and didn't really explain the boards characteristics aside from the spec sheets dimensions. I contacted the shaper to find out more details about the board in the hope of getting a custom version made in the future. I can drop in super late and still hold a stable line that has inspired my confidence more than any other board i've ridden! One of my recent purchases is a 6'3 thumb tail that i've been having a blast on lately.
