hey mike,
what's the estimated volume, and whats with the squared of tail? is the board for light wind ?


Well I made the first 2 boards with same volume and outline but with quite different rockers and vee shape, yet they both handled very, very similar. So yeah I made the 3rd one to be used in a bit lighter conditions and to contrast more against which ever one of the first 2 I keep, I still can't decide as I love em both(keep an eye on the buy and sell for a hell bargain).
It's a tad wider, I snuck in a bit more volume by making it a bit thicker and I did a square tail to give me a bit of extra drive up the wave face plus it makes the board a bit more compact by taking 3cm of the overall length. I reckon its close to 90 litres. I had an awesome day at cott with it until I hurt my rib(landed on boom), Dr said I'll be off the water for about 5 weeks, 1 down 4 to go.

Thanks Mr No-one good to see your still around. It's getting to that time of the year when I venture down your way for some winter sailing and you come down from the clouds and get your feet wet. Hmmm are you GOD?
