In Response To: Seeking: tool for capturing profiles like surf board rail. (sage)

: what would the name of this tool be?

A profiling gauge. The one I use has a row of pins within a plastic housing. Push the pins against the profile, and you push in the pins that touch, leaving the others protruding.

Easy then to either take a tracing, or use it to duplicate the profile.
