Sultan Guy Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I thought some of the forum members would like to see pictures of my new custom carbon Stand Up Racing Board. This thing cruises along at 6+ mph. Specs: 19' x 24.5". Weight 26 pounds. My wife says that I should name it. Was thinking something sinister like Intruder or Penetrator. Any ideas from the carvers!

Galen Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 2nd shot immediately reminded me of this photo. You should name it name it The Duke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softbootsurfer Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 That is Beautiful! Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultan Guy Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 More pictures of the cool fin system. Built in carbon not removable. This design has minimal drag, does not catch weeds, and really helps with tracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Curious, does that hard chine not create some instability in waves? It looks beautiful BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultan Guy Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 This is a flatwater racing hull shape and is designed for minimal drag. Have not had it out in any waves larger then a few inches, but one of my lakes is big and can get pretty windy so I will find out soon. Using my GPS sport watch mounted on the board I can see my forward speed in real time while it is recording. No problem to hit short stretches at 6.4-6.6 mph and a full 2 miles at 6.1-6.2 average. One lake has a speed "limit" of 7 mph so looks like I am legal :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 That's good speed. More curiosity if I may. At that speed, do you have a single wave trough that the boat sits in? I'm guessing the forward fin helps prevent yawing, especially with flatish hull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman0177 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Is it just me or is the back fin offset slightly from the stringer? Is that to counter your predominant paddling on one side only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
