so i started a 6ft4 cedar HWS made from left over cedar fasica from work. I ripped it down to 6mm planks and made the skins.
the board is set up for small mushy waves. nose lift 3 1/4 tail 1 1/2. so far i got skins glued up and bottom skin glued to frame. just glassed the inside of the top skin
theres a pic on the template of the backbone showing the board thickness and foil.
anyway heres some pics. will keep pics rolling

have not cut the tail shape yet i am thinking " bat tail" or a shallow "swallow tail" maybe
cheers antony
hey guys i decided to leave it as a " bar of soap" and go with square tail instead of bat tail. i did the lam on deck tonight. will do bottom tomorrow.
sorry pics are not that good i think time for a new camera.
cheers antony
Read through the “bars of soap” thread and then get back to us with the new tail shape.
What about leaving it as is ala mini-simmons?
My swallow tail fish has been totally neglected since I’ve discovered the way my mini-simm can pivot.
Beautifull board mate, tell us how it goes. I reckon it'll go great
sorry guys its been a bit of a lame build thread but shes all done keen as to surf tomorrow should be shoulder high and clean at my local .
cheers antony
How’d it go?? Im guessing she’s fast
that thing looks like a blast
Nice. That'd fly at your local.

yeah guys she flys!!! and paddles better than my last 8ft board. I am real happy with it and planning to shape a foam board just like it but only a little shorter.
the down side is that she is a hard board to duck dive.
cheers guys
