Phlaunder prototype

this is the 4 ft. board i will start with , out line from mojo , and i think i will go with a square tail , the board will be 1'thick with taper to nose and i will try a 2' rocker for the nose.name phlaunder for it being fat and flat. ahahaha

Love the name! How thick is the foam you are starting with?

cool Mark! it is great to see more people building!

Jeff,
foam is 1 inch thick and i weigh 170, would the square tail be more stable then the one shown ?

Square vs the swallow? If you leave the tail width the same I doubt you'd feel much difference with or without that small void in terms of stability.

If you look at the nose of most popular skimboards they are basically a pintail. When that type of board is ridden revert (fin first) the pin will sink a bit and that affords greater stability even without a fin.

IMO, the squaretail would be easier to build and laminate for a first effort.

thats why i decided on the square
