Set your station measurements (T12, WP, N12)

What the stations are

Surfbase measures a surfboard the way a shaper does. N12 is the width 12" back from the nose and T12 is the width 12" up from the tail. WP is the wide point: how far the widest part sits from centre, with plus meaning forward.

Steps

1. Open the editor

   Open the design and select Edit design.

2. Choose your unit

   In the Dimensions section, pick a unit from Units: inch/f for fractions like 19 1/2", or inch, cm or mm.

3. Set the outline

   Under Outline, type Nose width (N12), Tail width (T12) and Wide point. Press Enter to apply a value, or Escape to cancel.

4. Set the foil

   Under Foil, type Nose thickness and Tail thickness. These are measured at the same 12" stations, and the Slices tab opens on the matching slice.

5. Save

   Select Save.

If something goes wrong

• A value outside a field's range is pulled back to the nearest limit. Nose and tail widths run from 5" to 24".
• If the fields are hidden, the board is shaped from an imported or shaped model. Select Detach & edit dimensions to type values. Restore shape brings the model back.
• On a bodyboard, Nose width and Tail width are measured across the tips, and the wide point is set as Nose to wide point.
