To those who don't seem to get what spiral vee is. Well, it's a panel vee with concaves through the vee panels. Atleast - that's what it is to me!? And Greg Griffin's term he used is well known as "spiral vee." It's been a well known term for many yrs now. Maybe it used to be called concaved vee for all i know?Maybe if some of you would get off swaylocks and learn about REAL surfboard Shaping and design - you'd know... No reason to disrespect - Greg. Btw-Greg has brought a LOT of invaluable lessons about board Shaping here if you listen.-Jim Hey - Beerfan do you mind keeping your opinion to yourself? Hey, sgo re-read what - Greg Griffin's take about it. He actually was there when dub concaves were developed.FYI - I'm still learning how to shape a viable dub concave myself. Mine almost acts like it's got a looseness factor happening when waves hit the 3' mark? Good or bad- they definitely add to the fun factor!? Upfront - i shaped my first dubs inside the center of my vee panels....but deep part i set right under my front twins. But i let mine carry a bit forward my fins at front. It's sorta looser than i expected. But i think you do want the deepest part under fins, and yes the concaves fade out at the ends , but i think the vee panels carry as a panel vee. Now i think it's a spiral vee, but i just call it concave vee myself FWIW. sammy - why don't you get back to skateboard n kiddo!;) It's more than what you know - beerbong! Atleast i know how to shape a mean board w skill100!;) and i cant even do a cut out of toob yet! Can you teach me how to ride that monstrosity you scrubbed out? Question:do it push water like a snow plow!?:D Oahushaper- i am not 100% certain if I'm doing mine as authentic as it might be? I geuss i went off w my surform when i experimented w dubs. But what i did was: sand in subtle dubs ahead of fins....and through the fins where it bowled sorta deeper at 3/16"...or less. No i didn't really know what i was doing- i just tried it. Ace - i too just did a shallow panel vee.i cut it w planer this time.
Great to get a definitive definition.
But reading through all the other posts it seems an earlier definition was where the amount of vee at the rail decreases as it nears the tail, with or without concaves.
If I'm right then that change in definition over time has lead to the confusion I've experienced?
You'll experience plenty more confusion reading shapas wisdom.
You forgot to put wisdom in quotes, beerfan. ;)

Scrub it kook
Good thing someone who knows what their talking about chimed in to settle this. Thanks Shapa, finally understand what spiral vee is, had it wrong all along!!!
He figured all that out in 3 boards and two shaping lessons.
I am just going to put ''sum V'' in my boards from now on. That is all you are gonna get from me......
