Nice one Rhino, rather pretty I think. I haven’t seen a Parallel profile board with a raked fin before, it has a kind of primitive/oldschool look. Keep us posted on the floating and surfing side of things (please)

:slight_smile:

This is a really nice board ! Sweet outline and the wood colors are beautiful. How much does it weight ?

Sweeeeet board I must say, tell us how she goes.

she tolled in at 15lbs (did not know much about wood selection at the time).

Still have not riden it yet due to the rain we had the other day, the water is still icky.

Cheers.

I finally took my board out on its maiden voyage today. After dealing with moving, bad weather, bad surf, and a twisted ankle for two months, it felt really good to get out there. Surprisingly…it floats me quite well and rides better than I expected. It was in the 2-4’ range today and mostly clean waves were breaking, so I had the perfect conditions to test her out. My first wave I was able to pull off a nice bottom turn and it was all speed from there. Today was the best day of my life.

Cheers.

Rhino,

Beautiful board. I’m sure you’ll have many more “best days.” STOKED! mike

Congratulations brother Rhino.

For long epoxy life, polish the board with car polish

And for ultimate strength, don’t cut the hair. :wink:

:slight_smile:

sweet! Nice to hear how it rides.

Nice board - good to hear the update. Thanks for sharing the stoke!

I agree with Roy, if I plan to take over the world, I need longer hair.

Cheers.
