Any ideas what I could try next? I still have enough resin/glass left for a few more ideas.
All the boards are single fins, at this stage...a bench mark for me you might say, I intend to do a bit of R & D with thrusters & Quads etc. And Tails, swallows, flyers etc

Jeez Dean.. It looks like you're having to much fun..

I think you need a 16' Pene type board so you can race against Matt.. That keeps the curve going with longest to shortest.

Maybe throw in a 12' Gun like the new PSH.. Then maybe try a new RiceBubble with a pointy nose and pulled in tail.

DJ

have you got a picture of rice bubble?

12' big wave gun. Or a 14-16 distance board

The RiceBubble is what Dean calls his new board.. second right (I think)..

ok

What a classic , that looks fantastic , it looks like you have all bases covered but I think you could add a 8-10 x 28.5 x 4-1/4 quad same type of shape as Cassos board and a 12-0 pin tail gun like the PSH.

Wait for a while to build a 18 footer as there are some radical changes going in that class.

Love your work.

hi Dean, How about a run down of each board. great to hear about the strengths and weaknesses(if there are any) of each board and about the evolution of of your designs. There then ,that's your homework Dean ,I expect it on my desk before final siren today !!!!!. Oh nearly forgot , how do I set a fin box into a a board so it dont break off . Knocked it off last weekend with a combination of head and foot .owww!!,still could be worse, Perforated eureth---------- no can't even say it

How about a keel fin like Pat Morgan used to make for the Fish? I saw Wayne at Cathedral one day (1972??) just flying on a board with a keel fin.

Your boards look great Dean. Can't believe you can ride a 7'10" !!! I hear it's going well for you.

That old board has a great plan shape & outline, thats a real gun.
