Surfboard Modelling

simon_norris040

Hi, Does anyone know of a tutorial for how to draw a surfboard. Not as simple as just using loft? 
This will be for a GCSE student. 
Many thanks

Hey @simon_norris040

I don't have a tutorial for you, but I can share my methodology as I went through the process of generating some surfboards, in this document you will find 5 different boards, I would say 2 of them are realistic, and a basic concept for a fin (which is arguably more difficult than the board to design.)

I would encourage you to look through the part studio labeled "Performance Board" the entire methodology is easy to follow by scrolling through the feature tree. Pay close attention to the front and back tip as those hold some challenging features. if you have any further questions tag me in a comment and I will keep an eye out

Hey @Ignacio_Martos_ Thank you so much. Sorry, but I've only just spotted this. It will be a great help. Trying to get my head around surface modelling at the moment but this is amazing. Thank you for the help.
Best wishes
Simon

@Ignacio_Martos_, would you be willing to make that document public?
