In Response To: Strip: SURF BOAT OFFSETS (STEVE POLLACK)

I scoured the internet and all known resources looking for something I could use in the way of offsets on a surk kayak. I even loaded both of the more popular (free) boat design software packages and tried to do my own by using the dimensions of my graphite surf kayak. No avail as the softward is intended for displacement hulls and was not able to render a planing hull. I am currently bulding a small pram, but when I am done I will probably borrow some of the design concepts from this fellow..

and then come up with my own offsets.

Let me know what you come up with!
