: waaaaay nicer than those.

: I'm trying to control the 'urge' because I want to keep working on
: the sailboat I'm building at the moment, but, are the offsets
: available for the board you built? If so, where would I go to
: get them?

: How is your sailboat build coming?

Hello Ken,

I would love to see you build a board. The Malco was designed for Wood Surfboard Supply and they sell the ribs for it. The CNC work is top notch. They cut the ribs for my boards- huge time saver. I recommend trying the kit. The Malco was designed in a board-specific program but I might be able to generate offsets, and can certainly do plans.

Go to www.schweizersurf.com and click the contact link and email me so I have your email address. I am working on a displacement hull racing board and may do a wider version. It's more like a stand up kayak. The Malco is designed for paddling and surfing. It has a low volume tail for turning quick in surf. It also has a lot of rocker. You might want a flatter board or a displacement board.

: Thanks,

: Ken
