Hungry?
It may look like a “spatula” but it was tricky getting this egg on there 🙂
Before I get into too much detail on the sub check out the new narrow insert bases. These are mainly for the Ralston 1 1/2 insert spacing although the spatula is sporting a 2″ dim. That’s right I just introduced another option. Actually I think we should all change to 2″, would fit both narrow and wide boards. But I’m sure that’s not going to happen so I guess I’ll be alone in that.
this either looks like a duck bill or some kind of serpent with its mouth open. Any other sugestions?
Ok even I’ll admit that the nose is HUGE and square. Uh….what can I say, I wanted a plunge proof nose. I want that thing to pop up like a toaster. I will concur that the shape could be a bit less sponge bob . The dims on this thing are 46″ long, 6″ at the widest on the nose, 5 3/8″ wide on the tail. Camber with early rise nose. Basically its a 40″ ski in a 46″ body. I have not ridden it but if we get a few more inches with this next storm I’ll at least hike a bit this weekend and report back to you.
Hey Mark,
this is an exciting project, I’d like to see some action pics and hopefully some more “park” oriented subs with a more symmetrical shape. Thanks for sharing!
yea, a park oriented sub is next on the list. Same camber, taper and width but with a traditional nose and tail. Maybe a little bit longer then traditional.
Cool news! the boards look really good, from the photos I have the impression the tail and nose are pretty flat, is this done in purpose?
well the nose rises slowly or early and the tail has the same shape
just shorter. the goal is to get the coverage of a 46″ but have the side cut of a much smaller board. I think the tail could use a bit more lift though.
