Couple that I have been working on - doing laps
nailed that foil!Just got two more boards back from glassing. 8'4 double ender and a 7'6 chop tail speed shape. The former is a relatively new shape for me and the latter is the next step in the refinement of a shape I've really been digging on.
The 8'4 Double Ender has a hull entry to rolled bottom to slight vee out the back. Taking inspiration from my Hot Gen, I packed a hair over 3" thickness at the stringer, but foiled that out to the perimeter. Low rocker + speedy planshape, coupled with light vee and hard edge in the tail, yielded some serious get up and go. The main goal was paddle power plus confidence underfoot in bigger surf at point breaks. But has worked really well in beach breaks so far, and based on that I'm itching to get it out in bigger. Pretty stoked with it.

Wow @JBorbone that is a beauty. Does that double go all the way out the back? Looks almost flat in the tail. Any insight into what that ride feels like? Very curious.
Helluva gift. I look forward to seeing an update post of it glassed. Nice work#1 5'6" Ebert/Mini Simmons/Burch Beak Nose
