hot thruster








the customer s got a 6 2 * 18 1/2 * 2 1/4 flat bottom to slight double concave between fins with a not so "curved" outline; squash tail; soft rails to hard on tail

wanted not too many changes...but more maneuverability...

well, I made a 6 * 18 5/8 * 2 3/8 all flat bottom; similar rocker; similar fin shape but reduced the tip in the sidefins; more cant same toe in; curved the outline between the WP and the sweet spot; put a swallow tail with less area than the squash ; thinned the very tail to the pod (2.5´´up); same rails onto the deck but tucked edged to the bottom

foam 10 % lighter; 2 4 oz Aerialite fiberglass on top and 1 bottom; speed finish coat

...te diré que yo te veo bien "pegado" a la ola (con respecto a la otra tabla)
además, la tabla responde muy bien a los impulsos de los pies (estuve mirando todos esos detalles)

-checkear la manera que dobla con respecto al plano del cuerpo y la ola,
ver por donde sale y de que manera, la estela de agua;
ver la posición de los pies y de que manera la tabla se "apoya" en la ola, etc

así es que se ve si la tabla está respondiendo o es un muerto...

y eso es lo que hice en el parque...

gracias
