Bellacera vs. Mako

Postby NYKiter » Sat Jul 25, 2015 9:28 am

Apparently the Bellacera has been around a while but Ive never noticed them.
Is this concave deeper than the king?
Surprised there were no OR design patent infringements....
Anyone whos ridden both care to comment?

I believe Makos have 18mm of concave.

Design of surfboard shape is rarely if ever patentable.
Bellacera makes custom boards and foils.
He can make you a board to your liking, if you want...

https://www.oceanrodeo.com/forums/viewthread/2041/ that was the most info i could find on the board when i was looking at getting one and prob why he doesn't have to worry about the patent. still might get one. there are a few threads i remember on some other forums with some reviews of people who have rode both but cant find them at the moment.

Yes,
15mm is still a lot.
Probably feels very similar to a Mako.

If your getting a custom made I highly recommend quad drillings for fins. More threaded inserts to perfect the offset foot spacing.

Go a little wider than standard Mako.

Having a big center fin too far back from the rear foot makes for big wide carves. Using quad finds and bringing them up the board a bit closer to your rear foot enables better turning radius= more fun on the wave face. It also enables smaller fins to be used while still holding a wack of force on a knarly bottom turn on a monster wave.... Then because you have smaller fins you can still blaze the shallows.

Not. On the attached picture i ended up removing the center fin and the toeside fin on the front.
