Balsa strips to give the fin box strength. I forgot to do this before I glassed the bottom, so I went through the deck. The board doesn’t have a stringer.
Oh, really? Cool, I always thought you had to run the supports parallel to the box. Interesting…
I have seen it, haha! Got the ride report too, sounds like a keeper 
no pics tho, sorry.
Well, what was your reaction, upon seeing it?
I like it! Looks like a fun shape, easy paddler, cool looking fins, and it gets a thumbs up from the owner.
The new owner is stoked on the board. Impeccable craftsmenship of course and surfs bitchen. I’ll post photos when I get a chance. Just got back from SD today. 8 hour drive, nap, a hike with the wife, then dinner honoring the community service of a friend. Mike
Honestly, doing business with Bill T. is a pleasure. True professional plus you get to talk story with someone who has surfed,dived, fished with the legends. Boards are one of a kind. mike
Photos don’t do it justice by a long shot.Beautiful board, surfs great. Can’t wait to get it in some of the clean lined up points north of cansas. Mike
Not to put too fine a point on it, but don’t you think Cansas should be spelled with a capital C ?
Beautiful Bill, did you make the fins too?
No, I supplied the template to Fins Unlimited, and had them make them. The fins were foiled by Bill Obayashi. He has been foiling fins since the mid 1960’s.
Love it. I particularly love that tail/fins shot. That’s a serious looking engine.
Hi Bill. I believe this is resinbutt’s spelling, so I’ll stick with it. Or, maybe Resinhead… They both give me a chuckle. Mike
