How To Measure the Outline for a Surfboard

Video Transcript

"Hi this is Kimo Greene and I am here to teach you how to shape a surf board on behalf of Expert Village. What I do first is I get the overall length, one hundred and eight inches. I mark off from the tail and the nose exactly one foot and half of one hundred and eight is fifty-four, last time I checked. So that is the dead center of the board. So these references points give me a spot to start, because you want your board to be symmetrical. It seems to work better, either direction. Now, if we split the nose, this board is going to have an eighteen and half inch nose. So we go nine and a quarter on each side, in the middle it is going to be twenty-two inches wide, that is eleven on each side. Tail is going to be fourteen and a half. I, T-bone lines, so that is exactly where my next reference is going to be. This is going to be a Honolulu model."
