Rusty - Shiv, Hatchet, 419Fish

[Billy Ocean]

419 fish arrived today

dims: 5'5" / 20" / 2.15"

torsion flex

Single into deep double concave in front of fins (tried to show this below, not sure how visible it is)

overall, very pleased how it came out. hopefully will get to test it out tomorrow

 

[JDJ]

That one turned out extra nice! The torsion spring is a great construction option from Rusty.

flat deck is trippy

2.15 seemed really thin on paper but not at all in flat deck reality

You guys do anything special on these flat decks to keep the rail thickness down when ordering custom?

 

[JDJ]

Yes. Go way thinner than you think is normal. My flat-deck twin is 2.19, which sounds crazy but it seems equivalent to something like 2 3/8 or 2 7/16. The thickness is carried out to the rail with almost zero foiling. So even going close to normal could result in a pretty chunky board. But I would check with the crew at Rusty.

@Billy Ocean what fins you running

I was trying to keep around 28 liters

at 5’5/20, that put me at 2.12 thick but that seemed crazy low to me so I bumped up to 2.15 which came out to 28.7 liters

for comparison, I have a CI black and white in stock 5’11 which purports to have a flat deck but is 2.25 thick

the deck on the CI is not as flat as on this Rusty

the rusty is flat all the way to the rails

so definitely go thinner than you think

That’s cool that you’re into Legos. Oh, and nice board.

the funny thing is my son is way into the legos Simpson’s house but has only seen one episode of the simpsons randomly. I guess it made a big impression

 

[ChaseTMP]

I likey! those would be pretty much my dimensions as well. Good grief, that's a chunky nose though. I know that's probably the way it has to be, but just not used to seeing noses foiled that way on pointy boards.

One more from Rusty. 7'0 x 19.63 X 2.88. Think I'm good with step-ups and guns. Tried to change the color to a yellow resin tint, but that info didn't make it to the glasser, so baby blue spray it is.

That came out great.

did you go thruster or quad?

 

[JDJ]

Wowza. Good thing they ignored your color change.

 

[bluengreen]

5 fin boxes. My 8'3 is a dedicated quad, but my other big boards are 5 fin. They all go good as 3 or 4 fin. I switch it up depending on conditions.

Always wanted to order a Sista Brotha from R dot.
