This PDF file was converted to a DXF file, cleaned up and imported into the CNC software as machine code. The final set of templates produced by Hollow Board Template Maker. The tail slice at 170 mm from the board rear. The outside centre point for the swallow tail is 110 mm from the tail end. The swallow tail can be drawn manually on templates in the work shop or added in CAD software. AKU Shaper doesn't seem to like designing swallow tails so I've had to go with a square tail in the design. Here's a screen shot of the wooden surfboard outline in AKU Shaper. The ribs have been spaced at 150 mm with the deck and hull fibre glassed internally to give the board added strength and longevity. 45 litres is probably a good volume for a 70+ kg person.

The rails up the side are quite full (60/40). So after a few iterations in AKU we went with a 6'2" x 22 ¾” x 2 ¾” and 45 litres in volume with a flat bottom contour and slightly sharp rails towards the back. In this case we used the formula and settled on a volume of 45 litres. My coefficient is a bit higher (about 0.7) because I am a fat, lazy, paddle-phobic chimp. This seems to work well for the average surfer. I use a rough formula of 0.6 x body weight of the surfer (The Cater Formula). I've never really understood the metric system so I work in beers. Once the design is complete, AKU calculates the board volume (in beers or litres). I photograph the outline and side profile and use the images to do a rough design of the board in software. If someone has a favourite surfboard that they enjoy surfing, I assume the volume of that particular board is okay and I measure it using AKU Shaper. Now this is a personal preference and dependent on how much buoyancy is preferred and how much paddle power is on tap. Fish plan shapes can vary from classic shapes to modern hybrids.

Why not go for all three and install 5 sets of fin plugs and interchange the fin setups as required. Thick rails through the middle, sharp at the tail. Easy to turn but also a higher aspect ratio (tail width to board length) to assist the board in getting up on the plane. A wide tail (with swallow tail) – a couple of reasons for this. A flatter rocker for speed and ease of catching waves. A wide thick board for buoyancy and stability making the board easy to paddle and stable to ride. A wide nose with a slight point which is stable and maneuverable. This is by no means definitive but helpful in putting together a Fish design. So we did a little research and put together a summary of Fish design attributes. They were as follows: a Fish style board, and 6'2" in length. DESIGN The first step was to gather some design requirements. It not only cuts but it can also burn artwork into your wood surfboard. This is an awesome machine also in Wally's workshop. Epilog Laser 45W with 610 mm x 457 mm bed. A nice addition to any workshop and a permanent fixture in Wally's. Multicam M1 CNC router with 950 mm x 1150 mm bed. The school kids were totally stoked about building wood surfboards for themselves in school time, I was totally stoked to be involved and Wally was just generally stoked that it was all starting to come together.
He has access to a state of the art workshop with all the tools including a CNC machine and a laser cutter. Being new to wooden surfboard construction but an old hand at woodworking, Wally was looking at doing a couple of wood surfboard builds for his two sons first and then using this experience to refine the process for his students in the school workshop.
Wally was interested in introducing a wooden surfboard building module for students in his year 12 Industrial Technology course which would contribute towards their HSC (Higher School Certificate).
