Edge Boards (Andreini/Greenough)

[griffinsurfboard]

This is the type that have almost no area reduction in the planing surface due to the edge
No release
Newest by many the edge follows the template reducing the area providing all the pluses of that , those pluses discovered during the development of the surfboard soooo long ago

Looks gunny, but I'm wondering if it might be okay for sloshing around in longboard conditions.

If you had to choose between a 6’4 and 6’6 edge board which one would you pick?

Neither. I just bought a McNeill RTT fish with the Torus channel which is kind of the inverse of the edge board concept. Isn't it funny how polar opposites in design elements can work in surfboards?

This wins for least helpful post of the year.

Thanks man. This means so much coming from a titan of the catergory such as yourself. Do I get a prize? Participation trophy at the very least? It's ok no need to answer that...I'm battling demons (not inner ones) at the moment so this was carthartic in providing a vent-uri. Maybe think about my post for a hot second first. Do you see Rasta sliding out on boards featuring a Torus channel? Ask the same question but substitute in edge board. Maybe not every kneeboard design innovation Greenough came up with carried its effectiveness over to stand up boards unless they are in the hipster/awkward to surf catergory.

Ellis Ericson has some pretty sweet designs happening, check out this edgeboard post and video, after last ride he swings his board around revielin "3 mini power blades" Basically a powerblade thruster set up. REminds me of that Curren part in the original Lost 5'5x19.25 when he under the guidance of Greenaugh shapes his spin off of an M Peterson shape and then the finished product is equiped wiyth fixed, what looks to be a precursor to the powerblade thrister... 25+ years ago

That clip was interesting, seems the board lost traction there at a critical point.

early rendering I'm thinking about (still trying to figure out how to remove the fin boxes), not sure if the cutter can achieve

They're interesting. I love the history. They're sexy. Whenever I watch video of the boards being surfed well, I wonder if the "well" aspect is happening because of the boards or in spite of them. If I got one it would be a super stubby/wide/curvy little thing. And then I'd look for an empty point break. lol. Or maybe a unicorn?

At the end of the day, for everyone that isn't earning a paycheck with their surfing, surfboards are just toys. Functional sculpture whose purpose is to deliver sensations/entertainment/fun to the surfer. So everything is valid if it's working for you. Or somebody else.
