My suggestion would be to go for the following dimensions:
Length: 1550mm
Nose: 120mm
Mid: 80mm
Tail: 106mm
Radius: 15m
Mounting Point -75 (from true Center)

With 15cm of tip rocker she'll be able to handle a longer ski.
I'll post a CAD sketch later. Can't do that from work.

That sounds about what I want.
If you can't get the cad to me, then I will adjust my plan in snocad.
By Nose 120. Is that to the widest point of the ski, or to the beginning of the rocker.


I am looking at building this ski without a template.
I'll cut out the base using my router template curvy thing.
Will be the first time I try that, so we will see how it goes.

120mm would be the widest part of the planshape. About 50mm from the tip. I'll post a Picture of the cad sketch once I'm at home.

I would shorten up the running length and make the tip longer.
Around 120mm?

Would make it look more proportional.
And give a bit more tip height.

Other than that should work.

You don't even have a legit signature, nothing to reveal who you are and what you do...

Best of luck to you. (uneva)

Got a Little late last night so I didn't have the time to post something. Now back at work.
I agree with sammer. Give it a little more early rise (I wouldn't call that rocker) and tip height. I would Keep the widest part in the rockered section. There are no numbers for camber but to me it looks a little bit too much.

Ignore the camber.. that is the default in the program.
I will add some rocker to the front 25cm and about 1.5cm camber under foot.

I'll have another play when I am at home tonight

Ok, Last tweaks done.
I'm going to get this printed out and see how far I get this weekend.

I will add Rocker at the tip for about the first 25 or 30 cm and a mild camber in the press.
