I finally finished the modernization remake of the old Lightning Bolt board. The rails are substantially more honed. The bottom has a light single to double concave. I did not change the rocker much, very mild. The board is glassed with super sap and clear formula bio resin. It came out pretty light. I should weigh it. With these changes, the board will be quite responsive and fast, which will add to the smooth, full turning a single fin does.
I've been riding this 7' single fin a lot lately. I really stoked on it, but it is my wife's. The old Lightning Bolt was a friend of mines and he ripped on it until the deck ballooned from nose to tail. (You got to fix your dings, especially if it is a Clark Foam blank). I saved the board because I wanted to make something like it one day. I'm going to use a similar outline and thickness, but put a similar bottom contour to my wife's board, some vee and some concaves.
