Hi Guys,
Probably not the most liked topic to talk about, however:
I’m in the process of scaling up a 7’6" CJ Nelson Outlier into a surf SUP. It’s my favourite surfboard that I’ve ridden - i’ve just clicked with it…
Video of the surf board here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvmCdIpv76Y
I’ve never really seen a ‘hull-esque’ SUP before and there may be reasons why - that i’m not aware of just yet! Maybe the market is just not there, but this type of design makes so much sense to me for SUP. Easy trim and glide whilst still being able to turn. Not super high performance, but to be honest 95% of sup surfing isn’t either.
I do have a question for the shaping experts:
As the tail is 18 1/8" (12 inches from the tail) - is it simply too wide to work as a 10" single fin?
Should I go with a single and tiny side bites or as a Twin (or twinzer) instead?
I want that fast trim feel you get when surfing the surfboard version, but I also know how easy/efficient a single fin is to paddle on to waves.
Thanks in advance for any advice / thoughts.
Cheers!
Hoppo
