A wooden fish

Burn it.....burn it now....before it becomes another one of your zombie pox plagues upon America, chucka-boo-boo

 

I think this has potential, I am not going to bash it, take pics chuckie, Id love a little 5'8 wide fella, but for now Im gonna start with a handplane.

 

Sweet, where are you building it?

Wo0o0o!

 

this one has some potential. lets see the pics.

 

Nice, taking your concave concept one step further!

Personally, I'm not too sure how adding channels to a retro fish will work out--you may want to size down your keels... possibly sink in some fcs plugs for twinzer canards?

How deep are you planning to make your channels?

 

Can you do a step by step, like pretend you are teaching a child how to do this, like 'I am doing x because of y', etc etc. I am interested in learning about this process as I have only sanded my boards, never shaped one. And the ones I sanded were from a CNC machine where I choose the specs and rocker with the shaper. I have ridden many a board and I know what works for me, but overall the finer points are not my forte' and Id like to learn and see them in action.

good luck chuck. lots of pics.

 

Foam or wood?

 

Wake up & smell the latex, clemmy.

 

Good point. The thread is named wooden fish.

 

Check the boo-boo's history, troll-fish: he's got a thing for latex dummies, and that's an understatement.

Oh, snap....latex dummies.....looks like you're a winner!

 

Yankee, you've lost me. Just talk come out and say what you mean to me. I'm not up on what name you have for different people anymore. This is an ongoing joke and you're the only one laughing.

 

Dude I think he's lost everyone who isn't using the SI users manual. Why does every other post emanating from this guy seem to have this weird jargon where gnome, latex, boo-boo and on and on make up every third word? I don't get it.

 

And there you have it.

 

If you cant the fins too much, the channels wont work. And side fins on a fish usually have a good cant ( 8 degrees ). I would think the reason to having a good fish is to catch lots of soft waves, and being able to turn rail to rail and carve easily, and have a kinda skatey slidey feel to it. Not a down the line board, but a top to bottom board, so channels might not be useful. Just my opinion.

I am stoked for your project. Good luck bro!
