What's the difference in the handling of the board if you put the fins forward or more to the tail of the board? Better swing of the nose? I have been going to and brought up around auto racing since 1960. Understanding aerodynamics in auto racing helps me understand fluid dynamics when you explain surfboard design. It gives me ideas and makes me think about shaping. Like massaging the left front fender of a race car to pin the nose down going in to turn 1 at Talladega for more speed. One day I will shape a board. Thank you Glen for your explanation of fluid dynamics and how a surfboard works. At 66 years young, I Love to learn. Keep the informational videos coming. Mahalo and Aloha
Aloha Michael! If you have fins more forward, the board will pivot more and feel looser. If the fins are set further back, the board will be more drivey and feel more locked in a bit throughout your turns.
Having just watched the video with Futures Fins and MR about the new Futures MRs, the idea of high vs low-pressure zones on a surfboard bottom seems like it could also be playing a part in the speed of a board through the water. Perhaps more rocker would add a more high pressure zone in the middle of the board?
I’ve felt too much single concave and like you’ve pointed out it was fast but tracked way too much. If double concave helps with lift and maneuverability why not run it up further on the board set inside a mellow single concave? Great and very informative video BTW. 🤙🏻
Hello. Im an amatuer backyard shaper but Ive been told Im pretty good. Im happy with that. You displayed the concave on the blue board. Does the concave end (flatten out) as it nears the rear thruster fin? Thanks
Aloha Nick! There is no right or wrong way to change the concave as it goes down the board, but what has worked for many of our boards is that the single concave transitions to a double concave towards the tail in order to allow the board to go more rail to rail in the tail of the board. Hope that helps!
Thank you so much for your question! I'm Devin, the marketing and content specialist for T&C surf. We go out and film with Glenn in order to create these tutorials and other content but Glenn doesn't see these comments directly as he works at our surfboard factory in the shaping bay making world class boards! I didn't want you to feel let down if you didn't get an answer to your question but I have your question written dow and I'll ask Glenn the next time I see him 🤙🏼
best rocker to concave explanation ever !
Mahalo!
Learned heaps. This video deserves thousands of views. Mahalo for putting this together!
So stoked to hear that! Glad we could help progress your surfing knowledge!
These videos are so well made and edited. Nice work!
Thank you so much!
Love T&C. You guys never sold out. Great explanation from a master shaper. Mahalo!!
🤙🏼
Thanks for the education 🤙🏽
Absolutely! More tutorials coming this week!

Very knowledgeable shaper that make awesome boards, YEEW🤙🏽
Yessah!

You’ve helped me so much with shaping my boards!
That's awesome!

@6:13 put fins in the drawings to make them easier to read! nice work. mahalo!
Loving these vids!!! 🔥🤙
Mahalo! More to come!!
Thanks legends of t&c keeping it real❤
🤙🏼
Does anyone do triple concave anymore? I used to do them on my Florida boards back in the day
Thanks Glenn!
🤙🏼
It was so cool to see this.
excellent explanation from GP
🤙🏼
Thankful for this great informative video.
Our pleasure!
Love these vids! Super helpful.
Glad you like them!
Very impressive
🤙🏼
What would a deep single to deep double do, compared to a slight single to slight double concave?
hello what is the depths of the single in the flux ? and then the stepups ? like 1/8 of an inch ? maybe a little more in some
Love your explanations..m gracias
De nada!
what is Billy riding in those 2 end clips?
I believe that may be our HRT model but a little difficult to tell

Hello brother, what do you think about the exchange of material, do you know a vegetable resin applied to EPS?

@@TandCSurf Yes brother, ask him if he knows about this very important change for the sport. vegetable resin.
Do these same principals apply to wide, swallow tail, twin keel fin fish designs?
yes
Glenn aloha from Maui. I like one of your T-shirts. XXL
