this is my explanation of how the double concave let’s go of the water to be released more forgivingly after the front fins due to the unusual nature of the rail line after the deep scoop double concave at the rail edge

should the shape of surfboard fins mimic the dorsal fin or the tail fin?

Harder than shaping a surfboard, but oddly fulfilling to cut some lines through mortar and stone

Herro went beastmode on the og bnahnah
he sure did!
Gregs American accent at the end was OG !!!!!!
hi mate, will depends on how much you weigh since the twin fins are only eight or 9 mm taller than the front fins on the quad set. And yes I am in the process of making a larger twin fin set which I might have within a few weeks. and also you could consider the semi keel which is shorter but has more area and the feedback has been very exciting from them as well. But if you are under 85 kg, then the twin fins with the same planshape as the quad fins would be totally fine.
Thanks mate, I am 77kg so will give the current twins a go and will stay in touch to see the new twins when they arrive . Appreciate your help 😜
Hi mate I have your quads and a twinnie and trailer set. I am now surfing twinnies that don’t have a third plug. Can I ride with your standard size twinnies or do I need a slightly larger set ? If so would you make a larger set?? Thanks😜
A truly excellent piece of work. This improves my already high regard for Greg Webber's consummate surfboard building abilities and young Robbo's surfing and understanding of what makes a good surfboard go well in various surf. Cheers!
thanks Phil. already working on a new project withAdam and the filmmakers. some rocker experiments with the exact same plan shape and bottom concaves but with three different levels of rocker. Significant differences so that they are totally visual just looking at them and then surface will be able to interpret and understand the effect of rocker much better than if it is just a one off experiment that is radical. Even though it still indicates quite a lot, still better to have a progressive variation in one element to make it even more understandable
A thousand thanks, mate. Am trying to find work possible for me to do at this point in life, partially in order to pay for new custom surfboards from you, JC, JS, Rusty, Byrning Spears 6 channel bottoms and channel islands, Want to get a Simon Anderson quiver, CI, and maybe Clayton N. as well as a bump squash handshape from young F. Oberholzer when occasion and circumstances permit. Only thing I have now mate is my education and my dole card. Cheers!
@@gregwebberworld Champion.
That will be quite a collection!
@@gregwebberworld G'day Mate; the sweet science and experimental fun for you and your Crew being able to surf Australian top rank spots are to me enviable. Want to purchase a dozen custom surfboards from you all the way from short ultra light boards PU and avant garde, up to the minute material made grovel boards for ripping pools and gutless slop, s 6'6" RP, 6"8" RP and 7' pin Indo quiver as well as several 6'6" bump squashtails . Will try to earn the money to pay for these ASAP & will try to get some shots of me going as hard as I can here. Cheers!
Looks champion mate. The orange would not be tolerable for me. Plan to order at least one of them in a 6'10" or 7' configuration. Still trying to find work here on Oahu.
no obligation on the orange!
@@gregwebberworld Been enjoying a coffee & pecan shortbread lark in me scone; 1994 watching a 7'4" Webber pintail ripping, attacking the 12' lip like it's a small beachie; Periscopes Camp; bloke looked like Shane Herring? Whaddya reckon?
Aloha Greg; wish I could get several customs from you as I've witnessed heaps of crew in the most perfect waves imaginable ripping the bag ; going mental. Too skinnt just now to even buy basics and trying to find a bit of work building boards for JC- Hawaii without success. Asked Brewer, Arakawa Pang and Maurice Cole's mate Landon Hayashi to steer me to some learning pro level board building as a consummate pro like yourself. Please let me know if you can manage a few ideas. The only negative thing I must say for myself is that any additional orange is unwelcome due to my over- indulging an aesthetic lark in Japan from 2005 when I was still living there and teaching English. Wish I'd never left Japan. Best people this planet. Cheers!
thanks Phil! sorry mate but i’ve got way too much on my plate as it is. two big projects taking forever to complete and effectively broke trying to fund them out of surfboard money
Good soundtrack
was he on TV i swear iv seen him somewhere
Not that I know of.
Man I have been thinking of different shapes for a while now, I love to see some experienced shaper try stuff out, thank you!!
yeh boiz
That thing looks incredible. 💪🤙🤙
This would be a cool series, dakotas left was nuts…
thanks, i’m looking into it. got plenty of odd craft made already but some i’ve not made yet.
Miss these boys!! Great stuff Greg
same here. such polite young men as well
Really enjoyable piece - Adam is a good power surfer passionate about his craft. Winki is a great venue - anything goes out there as we see - even a door. How about going super narrow my bru - BK was howling across Haleiwa in the 70s at 17". You wanna get rail to rail quick - go narrower. Thanks for putting the piece together - a nice change from life and death and multiple step slabs.
thanks Shaun, and great timing with your comment I just sent a file to Trinko last week (on the North Shore) that is I think 16 1/2 inches wide with double concave deck and bottom. He’s going to cut it and Kelly and Ross. will have a look at it and hopefully try it out. But it’s thin, so might have to tow in to get it going. maybe I will do another one a bit longer and thicker so that it is paddle-able. totally agree with BK back then. And I’m guessing that pipe board of yours with the orange deck was a bit narrower than usual
Shaun Tomson messaged me about BK on 17”. did this a week ago for KS and Ross to try. Tow.
Interesting. Back in the 70's, when I was a grom, my first board (2nd hand) was a 6'6" pin nose/tail double flyer, 2 steps single fin ( also a bit narrower and thinner than boards of the time iirc). It had "Shivaya", a symbol and a Hare Krishna prayer on it. Made in Pt Leo but I can't remember the shaper although I think it might have been related to early Shady Hollow boards. I sold it to follow the herd and buy a twinny but the next time I rode a board that good was when thrusters came onto the scene. There was some magic in that board.
yes it’s such a pity to not know at the time how good the board was. And are you saying that it had two steps in the bottom which aligned with the flyers? that’s a mad bit of work if that is the case
I can't remember now but they probably were. I have a vague recollection the steps formed a v too with each side at about 10 degrees off perpendicular/square. It was a nice bit of shaping. Especially for time. There must be some reason the design didn't take off but I never discovered it. @@gregwebberworld
@@zenmechano maybe look up ‘step bottom’ you might find a pic of something similar
Love the fact Greg has been pushing the development of surfboards, fins, wave pool technology for years he is a true legend in the word of making surfing more fun & high performance for everyone good on ya mate keep it up
thanks heaps for that mate. Very nice of you
Loved this, Greg... keep 'em coming!
Thanks! Will do!
I want to buy one. A 6'10" RP
sorry mate missed your message, still keen?
Let me know if you are still thinking about one of these scoop models. Just designed a 72 tonight which looks pretty bloody snazzy
Dude was ripping!!!!!!
Good on you Greg, nice to see this shared.
no worries, Glen! and that is interesting that you do stop motion, clay motion, etc. My brother monty and I made a movie using a nicely damaged GI Joe, and we lost it, but we want to make another one one day. It was almost a fluke, how well it worked out and how comical it ended up being. It’s quite disgusting in someways, but poetic and beautiful in otherwise. Somehow, we mixed the subtlety and loneliness of the funny little man with his stiff movements with sick but understandable motives. A measure of its comedy level. Was that one of the guys from Bondi who watched it that no one had seen laugh before was crying laughing at the end of the film. Anyway, if you ever get interested in doingcommissioned projects I would do a storyboard and we could do it as a joint project
i’m on 0404822859 so if you are interested to have a chat about it, just text me and we can organise to have a meeting
Thanks for getting it out there Greg!
lovely, more nanoplastic merchandise for consumer bots.. the party is on
what are you doing on the internet? don't you have a leaf to whisper to?
sure thing. it all went downhill when the first pre-human realised that the bone he used to bash a head or smash a nut was now a tool and lo and behold HE made it.
So the narrow board only was a quad set up?
yes indeed. 16 ½” wide
Recent creation with an old school feel. Great video
Love your videos Greg really appreciated. Many shapers keep their trial and error Knowledge close to their chest. I love that you share. As a shaper of over 20 years I value your videos.... land waste is unavoidable if we all help teach one another maybe we don't need to experiment as much rather incorporate ideas and further the most amazing sport/leisure humans ever have been gifted with!
thanks David I appreciate that too. It’s nice to get acknowledgement from other shapers, as you say they tend to be very tight with their knowledge, but the other thing is it is such a difficult craft to define even just the fundamentals when you start to talk about the relationship between the board or the fin and the dent or track that they both make in the water. Most board design theory relates to a change in shape and then the consequent change in performance, ok fine, but that misses the middle bit as to why or how that change happens. I think one of the key ways to analyse anything in boards is to compare the ratio between lift and grip. I’ll bet you’ve never heard that discussed in any design forum before! But I’m going to do a post on nat at some stage in the future
@@gregwebberworld love it look forward to hearing it. I'm playing alot with twinnys slight movements in fin placement 100% changes board drive and manoeuvrability! So many variables .....love it
cool! lots of fun
Beautiful fins indeed!!! wonder if those will make it to EU. loved that analogy - dorsal vs tail fin in nature of another video + the thickness distribution
thanks Drew, i guess you must have a bit of that thinking yourself then. and i send them internationally anyway so let me know what you’re keen on when the time comes.
Less chance of blowing out the tail in the cutback!
probably!
5 1/4" and 2 3/4"
I'd love to ride some "shapers". It appears to be incredible.
not sure what you mean edoardo
genius shaper - raw talent surfer = perfect combo
thanks heaps!
are you related to an ex pro surfer from the states? same surname
Beautiful work
Masterful performance on all magic carpets.
magic boards!!!
Unreal ❤ it
Love this thanks for sharing !
my pleasure mate
Enlightening!
thanks !
I can't find the 6'10" sea of joy for visual rocker guess, is it a Shane Herring model? Shark analogy was a little terrifying. 6'10" 21 1/4 x 2 7/8 scooped out round nose with 31/4" rocker and triple winged swallow with heavy v and 3 5/8" tail rocker 2+1 fin setup probably green and blue neons? ha ha... fins look nice!
not sure what you mean.
Okay now I’m getting you with the rocker guess and the post on Instagram is a fair way back. Message me on Instagram if you like
Beautiful fins!
thanks mate!!
