post Hull pics 
Please post yer Hull pics - where one can compare different planshapes, bottoms, fins -- kindly note dimensions, and geo region, and construction type ( epoxy, pu/pe, etc). Fins too.
yep i know we've had a few hull threads of late -- but would like to have a thread with mostly pics of different manufacturers' styles of hulls.
would be greatly appreciated.
Slds,

Re: [9N78W] post Hull pics
I'm throwing this one in although most folks have seen this Liddle before. 7'2" 17" X 23" (up 7" from middle)X 15" X 3". I use a 9" Liddle flex around 12.5 inches up from the tail (measured from the back of the fin at the box). I ride in San Diego and the board needs a wave with little base to really turn on. I've only got it to 5th gear once or twice.
Unfortunately, you can't glean much info about a hull from a photo. You need to see one in person and run your hands over them, drag a straight edge along the bottom, etc. The differences between a Liddle and say a Paul Gross are really too subtle to see.
Re: [LeeV] post Hull pics
yea i've heard that - about having to see and feel - but i have seen some difference in planshape, some fin placement and size i think. i wish i could see one in person - but i don't think there's one within 1000 mi of me. I surf mostly point tho.
Still appreciate the pics. that's what i'm looking for. Thanks LeeV.
good to see all in one place
rgs,

heres a klaus jones hull
Re: [9N78W] post Hull pics
I like Lee's pic
I gonna sidewipe my brother Sharkcountry by posting his pride and joys. "in search of the perfect eight-oh" you might debate whether they actually classify as "hulls" but he's starting to think he's a the second coming of Mr. Liddle.
Hull on the mind I guess.
Personally I don't like the designs but to each his own I guess.

Where? I'd love to see it!
Re: [9N78W] post Hull pics
Here's a few Liddles, dimensions are nose @ 12"; wide point (+ is towards nose from center); tail @ 12" and thickness.
#1959 7'5" 17"x22"(+1)x14"; 3" thick
#2955 7'6" 17.5"x22.75"(+3)x14.5; 3"
#4079 7'0" 17x21.5(+2)x15; 3 1/8"
I surf all of these at 2nd Point Malibu, and other Point Breaks between SB and Baja.
Hope this helps.
OK here I'll try to post again.

Hi Jason,
These are the same that I sent to you earlier.

Re: [pierpontscott] post Hull pics
wha'pen the Klaus Jones hull? thought y were gonna post a picha?
Re: [9N78W] post Hull pics
does a 6'8" V1 cooperdesign count as a hull?
Re: [9N78W] post Hull pics
Here are a few pics with a little different perspective. Not that it helps a whole lot. Keep in mind, size and fin placement will be personal. What size boards you currently ride and how much you surf, conditioning etc. will make a difference in what you would want in a hull.
Re: [DennisRyder] post Hull pics
Kirk
have you gotten any more in or do you have some more coming?
thanks
Re: [choch] post Hull pics
Here are some shots of a 7'10" Inbetweener I picked up from Kirk a couple of months back. Love the Hull but have to "re-learn" how to ride my other shortboards after a few sessions on the Liddle.

Re: [DennisRyder] post Hull pics
dennis - wow! those certainly have the word "Glide" written all over them. Just beautiful.
Re: [DennisRyder] post Hull pics
Dennis,
I had a chance to look at that board at VSS and I have to say great job! This is one of those boards that 'feels' just right in your hands. The combination of rails and bottom contour blend nicely and of course the pinlines are well done. These pictures don't do it justice.
BTW, what is the glass job on it?
Thanks for sharing.
Marc

Re: [choch] post Hull pics
Hey choch, Liddle just sent a couple more and said the blank problem is slowly getting better in the islands so more comin soon. Dennis nice job! looks good.
Re: [KirkPutnam] post Hull pics
Kirk:
sent you a PM, and left mssg on yr telno/answ machine .....
Re: [gaffer] post Hull pics
cuz yr post, i was lookin at http://www.cooperfishsurfboards.com/cometindex.html - Comet models - they certainly look like hulls to me --- up rails fwd, long flexy single fin.... BUT it says the Comet model is 'discontinued'. go fig
Re: [9N78W] post Hull pics
I'd say his current Malibu Foil is much closer to a hull than the V-Bottom. I had a Comet, it was close but had a lot of V in the tail... It was more like a mini Mello Yello Modelo...
-Mc
Re: [mcmalibu] post Hull pics
I'd be interested to see what the current malibu foil looks like (Malibu foil 2 ?). I have a foil, but it has enough tail rocker that I wouldn't rightly regard it as being hull-like, at least not in comparision to my liddles ..
Re: [Reason] post Hull pics
I'm just comparing to a Comet... I'm no expert on Gene's current lineup so I'm probably wrong. Is yours under 9'?
-Mc
Re: [SrPato] post Hull pics
SrPato,
Thanks for the nice comments. My standard lamination for the hulls are with 7.5oz volan with 4oz tail patch on bottom. 7.5oz volan and full 4oz deck. 10" glass in fin box and special hand sanded finish.

Re: [9N78W] post Hull pics
Is a Dewey Weber Feather Fastback considered a hull?
Re: [9N78W] post Hull pics
This is a 6'6" poly blank made by Elova foam. I glassed it myself with epoxy (fiberglass hawaii brand). I just started lamenating my own boards and epoxy is really user freindly thanx to everything ive read on this site.
anyway, the tail is 16 1/8, mid 21 7/8, nose 18. 2 3/4 thick. Super thin rails. Greenough 9.5 4 C fin. The hull has a pretty subtle dome to it which becomes almost flat in the tail. My buddy convinced my to do a little concave in the nose. Ive ridden it 3 times in the past week since completion about 7 days ago. I'm still working on sticking those deep bottom turns. The board seems to go fastest when you are letting it trim on its own. It is also most fun when the waves are juicy. The more hollow the better. It has only slid out twice and i'm pretty sure both times could have been avoided. So far it is really fun. I really want to get some bigger surf on it to see how it will work.

Re: [mcmalibu] post Hull pics
Re: [mcmalibu] post Hull pics
Try again ..
Nope, a 9'2. Picked up via the good folks at Mollusk Surf in San Fran just after blank Monday. It has been on the rack for a while and I kept looking at it; when Clark rolled over, I figured I'd better pick it up quick.
Btw, John (Mollusk - really good guy) had some nice Liddles on the rack last time I was in there - including a peach of a yellow inbetweener, so for folks near to SF, it's a good place to oogle the hulls. He also had some Andreni hulls - all worth looking at. Just a quick pimp for the man.
Last time I was in there I told John it was like going into the candy store when I was 6 and he said that was the intention :)
Re: [andersonfan] post Hull pics
AF: just curious to know why you went with an Liddle Inbetweener and not the Pointbreaker shape? what kinda waves you surf mostly?
everyone else: someone was gonna post a pic of a Klaus Jones hull -- que que paso?
I was checking another thread earlier with Youtube.com clips from Innermost Limits of Pure Fun. The way those guys ride in that clip, well it looks like the style associated with hull -- anyone agree with that. (wish they had that flick on dvd) Since greenoughs involved with that flick, could it be hull they're riding? i can't tell from the clips.
Re: [9N78W] post Hull pics
According to Dickie Hoole, GG was in the process of some computer stuff to Innermost, when the computer crashed!! That ended that. It may be a while before the DVD gets out there.

Re: [josh] post Hull pics
Roger, I talked to GG and its back on track IMLPF will be cleaned up and some footage that never made it will be added and 4 or 5 new short films GGs been workin on also some new comments by GG . Josh the movie was a BIG!! influence on the Hull shapers .
Re: [KirkPutnam] post Hull pics
Also there will be a few , 3 I think of Klaus Jones Hulls avalible at Mollusk in SF in afew weeks , These are state of the art Hull machines , Shaped, by HAND!! glassed, sanded by one man . A few new Liddles on the way also , same deal hand made by Greg start to finish right down to the hand foiled fin.
Re: [KirkPutnam] post Hull pics
sorry guys will get a few pics of Klaus Jone's hand made hull up today the image size I have it in is way to large. Nothing beats hand made craftmenship start to finish . Klaus is so passionate about his board building that he is a dying breed of builder. Hope you boys up north are ready to see some beautiful blades and yes they will be worth the price!!

Re: [pierpontscott] post Hull pics
You gotta love those hull profile shots -- the raked fin, and those rails. aesthetically pleasing, yknow. looks like a double stringer?
Thanks for posting those.

Re: [pierpontscott] post Hull pics
Pierpointscott: hope you don't mind me posting the pics you took of the Klaus Jones hulls inline
Re: [LeeV] post Hull pics
LeeV: do you have side/profile shot of that Liddle?
Re: [9N78W] post Hull pics
something else i notice about hulls - the profiles are so contrary to what you would expect the planshape to be (or vice-versa), meaning if you were shown only the profile, and told to draw the planshape out to what you think it would be..... in most cases i think most people would draw something with a pulled nose, and widepoint center or behind center, wider tail.

Re: [9N78W] post Hull pics
9N78W hows that board holding up, need some feed back on those blanks.
Re: [KirkPutnam] post Hull pics
KP: ain't got it yet. I only just last week put the order in - but 4-shore will post pics of it when ah git it.
quick question for all: I've been using the word "profile" for looking at a board from the side, but maybe the right term is 'foil'? yea/no?
Re: [KirkPutnam] post Hull pics
KP: one thing i can tell you is that in discussion with GL, he said the blanks he's using are thicker now, and since i'm 220-225lbs he was thinking he could go up to 3 1/4" thickness down the center and still keep the rails very thin. ( i'm gettin 7'4" Pointbreaker)
Lately, outside of my mat, my main rig has been a 6'8" twin keel that's under 3" thick --- so i'm getting beaucoups more paddlepower. although not the reason for me wanting a hull, i'd love to be able to get into waves much sooner. But i understand that due to the hulled bottom they're not always wave-catchin machines. ( comments welcome on this point) my flat-rockered fish catches waves easy enough, but the thinness and shorter, wider length - well I don't like using it in open-water spots. (long paddles)
