the most important theme here is that these boards much shorter, are wider and flatter and as a result paddle way beyond their length. Most are quads or twin fins that can handle the intense widths and flatter rockers needed to run and paddle in almost zero power. The real trick is to add face freedom since flat rockers tend to run away rather than up the face and even though these models are short they still need some tail rocker relief in order to do that up the face thing, particularly on impulse. So without going to ridiculous lengths I have basically just miniaturized my Mini Mini model and my Sumo fish model. When shrinking a file one has to flatten rocker and narrow the plan shape in order to keep to scale but for these little bandits I have certainly flattened the nose rockers but have not flattened the tail rocker near as much. This as I have explained necessary to differentiate them from the mini ironing boards we have seen in the past. So as they don’t become too dizzy with this lift, I have only clustered up the fin positions slightly in order to keep the drive facility in place which would normally be sadly lacking in boards this length. Also the width of the planshape I have actually increased rather than decreased, which you would normally do to keep to scale.
