the single to double would probably open up the sweet spot so it drove off both feet more

todd,

hope everything’s going well.

i want to make some changes to the proxy accelerator

you made for me some time ago.

i love the board, but i feel with some tweaks here and there it’ll be just right. the dims on the one i have are 5’11.5 x 11.5 x 18.5 x 14.25 x 2-3/16 with an outline back (slight bump wing squash tail). the overall volume feels right and i would leave the rails and foil exactly the same, but

i feel like i can go a bit shorter and a bit less area

between the feet (i tend to be a little

more front footed than back).

i’m thinking of going with a standard outline (no bump wing in the tail), a little more squared squash tail and one of the following dims:   5’11 x 11.5 x 18-9/16 x 14.25 x 2-3/16 5’10.5 x 11.5 x 18-5/8 x 14.25 x 2-3/16

have you tried using a single to double concave bottom

instead on this board?

just curious how it would perform against the single concave all the way through.    peace,   mauricio

Hey Mauricio,

Good to hear from you….how was your Memorial Day weekend? Charissa and I got a nice respite.

I like your idea for the tweaks on the Accelerator.

I think the 5’10.5” would be the one, especially since summer is here….the less length the better. I like the idea of no bump with the the more squared up squash too.

I haven’t tried a single to double on this board,

but I’ve thought about it and have actually been

mulling it around in my mind for a few months,

but just haven’t gotten around to it….

so I think we should do that too.

From the sounds of it, this design would fun fast and clean rail to rail arcing/ carving king of small wave surfing…..

the single to double would probably open up the sweet spot

so it drove off both feet more as opposed to

having all the gas pedal just under the back foot….

and the doubles make a board drive real positive on rail engaging the concave on the side of the board that is involved in the turn more than a single will.
Basically I’m down with all your ideas….and have already been wanting to do a board like this….you can be the test pilot.
Let me know any other thought or questions you may have. Looking forward to your reply,
Aloha and peace to you too bro,

Todd

thanks for your feedback!

i feel like the single concave works well for a linear style surfing suited for fast down the line point breaks where you’re trying to always keep up with the speed of the wave.

i wish we had at least an inkling of a point break

in florida, but nada amigo.

unless i’m going to point break surfing heaven soon, the majority of my lifetime will be spent surfing peaky closeout beachbreaks that suits a quicker top to bottom style of surfing where you’re trying to work in as many turns as possible.
