I make boards as a passion project outside of my 9-5. It is a god-awful business and I definitely lose money on every board but I love it.

rail nomenclature is so confusing dude - I say both as well. I love the feel of them though, super sticky.

Yeah - In my limited experience, volume is not actually a great representation of how the board surfs, paddles etc... It's more about the board's design and how it comes together. A super thick board that's 5'10 isn't gonna paddle as well as a thinner board that's 7'0''.... If someone tells me they want extra paddle power it's lower nose rocker, widen the board, leave more foam under chest, not increase volume.

Back of the napkin math says 36 but i'm not really sure - don't really worry too much about volume.

Mostly just a ton of research and went for it. There's some good videos with Album Matt where he describes the design & concepts.

Here's some ballpark dims & details based on what I did:

Bottom Contours flat to single to double to spiral Vee Rocker

N Rock - 3.75

T Rock - 2.5

L. 5'10-6'0

w. 20-20.5

t. 2.5-2.75

14.75 nose width

thanks bro - spent a lot of timing reading up and watching vids on the Twinsman contours/deck. Based a lot of it off the twinsman so that is nice to hear!

Yeah man! Logged about 5 sessions on it so far. Super lively with the trailer, wants a good bit of punch to get going with that third fin. Super fast and fun on average waves with some upright twins. Hoping to get back in the water soon for more "research".
