cool, they haven’t evolved much tbh , she lives them how they are so requests the same board but we have increased length and volume slightly over the years … I do 2 different bellyboard models though , I’ll share more pics here soon if some different ones over the years …'
cool, thanks for the recommendations , appreciate that alot...yeah, there's a bit of volume in it but for such short boards, you generally have to go thick to get max volume, hence the flat deck in this shape .. usually quads or twinnies, never done a thruster or 5 finner ... Im persoanlly a huge fan of the Twinzer set up so would like to do some bellyboards with them on them, think they'd work a treat...
yeah for sure , fins are very key to any boards performance . I’ve made and ridden a lot of finless and semi finless boards so am sure there’s a lot of that design experience I can bring to the bb’s too…

she has had 3 or 4 of these from me so I think she’s just transferring her current set … I think some standard template 3’s in the front and smaller ones in the rear would do the job… but she also surfs the reefs in Tahiti where I’d think she’d want more fin if the waves were serious … the beauty of fcs I guess…

I have been making bellyboards for years now but they are proving more n more popular lately , getting awesome feedback on them from happy customers and it’s awesome to be able to make something that is keeping surfers with crook legs or injuries in the water … ( as this is often the case for a majority of my bellyboard orders ) … this one is 4’9 and about 39 ltrs, will be a twin fin … no
this one has been designed to be ridden shorter for better pivot and the wider nose helps maintain width which is great for stability , planing area but also the rails are more parallel for drive …thanks mate, glad u like it…

both have concaves, both double thru the fins mate, I love my flat entry, slight single into decent double , sometimes into a bit of vee out the tail …
flat bottoms go ok I think but feel a bit lifeless and neutral to me… but it’s all personal preference mate…
