We've decided to make this section of the paper Design more than Three.
We'd like to invite any shops, whether small or large, to submit photos and details of the boards that their surfers are ridding.
You can see pretty much what we're after from what we've been printing.
Simple dimensions and the basic things the board is designed to do.
And a photo that shows as much as a photo can.
We'd like to make this a design forum for shapers and manufacturers to show what their doing right now.
This is a subject that surfing magazines have steered clear of in the past for the simple reason that by the time they got the material to print, it was out of date.
If you can send us the details by the start of the month, then we can have it in print by the end of the month providing it's suitable.

TOM HOYE'S BENNET TWIN DIMENSIONS: 5'8" x 21". 12" tail. 3 1/2" thick. 5-5 1/2" fins. Soft low rails all around with a slight 'V in the tail and a slight concave in the nose. The rocker is consistent throughout the board. It's designed to stay on a consistent high plane - it's a little wider than the previous board for better flotation. Basically it's a small wave board - 6' and under - built for long skatey turns and the positive feel of the twin fins.

JIMMY BEARDSLEY'S KEYO TWIN-FINNER                                                                                                             Page 31: Keyo Surfboards

DIMENSIONS: 5'3" x 22". 12 1/2" chamfered back. 12" of 'V' 5 1/2" fins. 3 1/2" thick.

ROBBIE HOLT'S HUTCHINSON TWIN FIN

DIMENSIONS: 5'4" x 21". 12" back slight 'V' 6 1/2" deep fins. and Robbie didn't know how thick. Goes gas ... it doesn't slide out Designed for pocket surfing and more manoeuvrability Previous board was 6' - thickness and width make up for drop in length. The rails are soft low to hard at the back Ridden well in surf up to 6' so far ... especially on the backhand where one fin wouldn't hold in.

ROBERT CONNEELEY CHINE

The Chine bottom is the next step on the hill. George Greenough's gift to down under this winter. The concept is cutting the roll out of the bowl of the hull, leaving two flat strips running down beside the centre plane and diminishing at the tail. Though the edge where the planes meet would bog down, but it does not if made right. The extra flat gives more acceleration when board is on its side in a turn plus more initial speed at take off. It seems to have all the speed of a low rail flat bottom yet the beautiful handling and safety for tube riding of the original hulls. This only my fourth shape job, made at Wilderness's beautiful factory in a very peaceful valley, conceived on the good vibes and love of my friends and prototype for my model with Hayden. Dimensions: 5'9" x 20 1/4" x 9 1/4" square tail with a soft curve between the corners of the pod. 5 3/4" of nose lift, gradually fairing into a dead straight plane at tail. A very soft S through the bottom trying about 3/32" of rise at back edge. S through the botom (sic) trying about 3/32" of rise at back edge. 3 distinct planing surfaces on bottom and it is all driven by a very powerful 35 layer glass fin with about 3"- 4" of flex.

Manly Surf Shop and Stor-a-Board We're not pessimistic about our future- Bob Brewster. The home of Bower Boy Surf Wax, the demand for board storage declined with rapid downsizing in surfboards since 1967.
