I’ll kick it off.
Hotwire, and cut the stringer’s out, for my cedar, one as a double one as a single center stringer.
Not 100% sure of what im going to make, or which blank I will use.
EDIT>>>>
As you can see i went with the double stringer blank and the Blending cureves “Nug B”
Love it!
More…
Having just shaped the “Hulk”
A mass off foam, BTW.
I am thinking yours
???
Ah,
“Hunk a burnin’ Love”
Um Yes
Mine
Yew!!!
It went from foam with 2 sticks to a master peice… Cool visuals on inner deck.Well done
How long did it take to make??

I wish matty and tom, that one is just my inspiration for the tail.
I wanted to keep it where I could find it.
This is the rough cut.
Shaped the tail and tweaked a few transitions.
Put a layer of spakfilla over the top. Just leaving it in the sun befor I flip n do the bottom with the filler.
Yes. the board on the stands is covered in spakfilla.
Wow its been a while since i posted.
Spakfilla over the whole deck sucks
New resin on a hot day, lamination, is a bad combo to try a two tone resin lam, and forget the stickers on the fin boxes until after you have mixed both batches of resin.
Just charge it.
YEW!!!
Now there are a but load of photos cause i haven’t posted any of the glassing and i just did the rough sanding of the board.
Its a groveller and I’m going hipster, BAHAHAHAHA, so no leggie plug, for now…
Is there any way to load more than one pic at a time?
the order of pics,
1 new resin
2 fin boxes
3 bottom lam, all plans of stylish two tone, died with fast kicking resin
4 resin dam, take 1
5 the plan on the top was determined by the bottom “slapper” job.
6 bottom after various filler coats, one gerneral and one over the fins with tape for a hard edge resin dam
7 top outline before sanding,
8 my sanding bay
8 after rough sand.
Just shape the tail, a solid wet sand and some form of sealer coat, contemplating a resinhead style auto paint gloss coat but I don’t have a gun for my compressor yet, so will se what happens.
Matty here is my rocker shot.
Still havent sanded anymore of it.
Gotta fix a bit of sand through to fix and re filler coat the bottom and sand all over again.
Curious why this got put in Errors & Bugs???
Not in the Sin Bid yet…
sk8ment.
Your rocker should “skoot”
Maybe a kiss more nose rocker
If I may…
Yep thought it could so with a dash more but…
Pretty cool…i love the rat look mate !!!
~~So I had sand throughs on the V between the double concave and they needed resolution.
So I put a 4 oz patch over it with a bit of black in it so its easier to see how much im taking off as I sand it.
Some of the left over resin I spread over the sander marks to be hand sanded later.
CET epoxy 3 hours later trusty blade and trip it back.
Sanding is yet to come.
Very cool! I admire your willingness to show your mistakes.
Well ive surfed it twice now, both times its been small, so small that i probably wouldn’t have gone out on another board but i had a blast.
paddles really well, but took a little to get used to witht he 5’0" length.
REALLY LIGHT, it was an experiment to see how the super light and soft foam would go with a 4x4 top and 4 bottom, and there are already deck depressions. but no worse than a 4x4 PU board.
unfortunately i haven’t conviced my fiance to come and take a pic or two just yet.
the pics are pretty obvious, pretty happy with the CET epoxy but it sets way faster and did not seep onto the foam as much as the general purpose epoxy so its not quite as robust.
i cant wait to get it in some real waves, but it has done some nice little pocket hooks and a few slow speed but share cutbacks and a few little nose rides for kicks…
