Well I shouldnt say for most paipos cuz Ima noob. Im guessing when I said that. This one flexes like a mutha. Not sure on final outline. I may cut a swallow I may give it a square tail. I dont know yet. I know Ill soak it longer and keep it bent longer than last board. Any suggestion welcome! |

my boards are 9mm out of decent grade marine ply, 48 x 12 tapering to 11. the flex is lovely. but then 9mm in birch ply is way stiffer and a load heavier. _________________ www.traditionalsurfing.co.uk |
