hi, im in grade 11 and for my wood tech class i have chosen to design a fish,
i am making a twin fin retro fish with the dimensions of Length 5’6 Width 20” x Thickness 2 3/8” i am roughly 5,9 about 67 kg and a fairly experienced surfer,
i am nearly at the shaping stage but i do not know how wide the nose and tail for a fish should be??, i have a short board and a mal but the dimensions would be very different wouldn't they?

Try the Swaylock website as there is heaps of design info on The forum.
Grainsurf.com also has heaps on info on fish designs. Timber boards but lots of guys are building timber fish.

"In "Surfboard Desin and Construction" there are details on a Lis Fish. The board is 5'5" and the wide point is 20.96" 3' up from tail tips. The tail tips are 13" apart and the split goes up about 6.5". Tail width is 16.92" but nose width 12" back is not available in diagram. Nose width 5" back is 10.8" and 11" back is 16.48". The fin placement is 0.5" toward stringer from line drawn straight up from tail tips. Fin is parallel and trailing edge 5" up from tail tip. Fin dimensions are 5" X 9" and foil is not mentioned. Skip Frye does them with symmetrical foil. Thickness is 2.5" at widepoint, 2" tail and again, not given for nose 12" back. Rails appear fairly boxy but that's subject to interpretation. "
