Here is a Mini Bob Simmons inspired surfboard template that you can use to create your own. The PDF link below has the actual template. All you need to do is print it, tape the pages together and cut it out.
This template measures 5'5 inches and is meant to be built with twin keel fins and a scooped nose. I haven't built this board yet, but decided to draw out the template and add it to the list of boards I want to make. Someday......

Great lines on the simmons board, do you have any ideas as to the amount of rocker throughout the board?
Cool blog great info.
Thanks George
George,
I started a thread on the new BoardSide Forum. The blog doesn't have the capability I need to communicate back and forth, so I posted it there. Hope you don't mind.

Thanks for the template! Already shaped this board and have ridden it exclusively for 2 months. What a great board, super fast and loose. I am 200lbs and 5'5" is perfect for me. I ride primarily weak sandbar waves and it handles the mush great. Have tried it only a few times in faster surf but i think with practice it will handle that to. Thanks to this template I have shaped the best board I have ever owned and the smallest board I have ridden in 30 years.
I appreciate the help, but the pdf for the simmons template is not working.
Sorry, we took down the template.
