Need some measurements

Postby Drew3 » Fri Aug 27, 2004 11:57 pm

Anyone know of some good sites that have sizing charts for a board. It's been a while since I've had a custom and I've put on a little size. 5'9" 184 lbs. I'm looking to get a Fish and a shortboard shaped.

Drew - your best bet is to talk to the guy who will make your board rather than use a sizing chart.

A good shaper will be more than happy to spend time chatting through your style of suring, your height, your weight, the waves you surf, your ability, what you want from a board, what rails to go for, tail shape etc etc.

If they are not happy to do this then find a different shaper!!

one of the things that happen with shapers is they work off there exsisting templates then tweek it to your specks this is helpfull cause you are using tried and tru shapes that are being adjusted to size and ablity.the thing with any given mesurements is that they might not work as well [being arbituary] but if you realy know what you want reguardless you can get customs from a shaper but it can be a gambel with your math and there ablity
