What a flashback seeing those two boards again, mahalo for posting them!
Here is a photo showing one of my more recent 10-3 guns this one is a hybrid with a bamboo deck patch and a combination of polyester and epoxy laminating on polyurethane foam.
The dimensions for this board are - 10’ 3" Length x 11 3/4" Nose x 22 1/2" Width x 12 1/2" Tail x 3 1/2" Thickness.
So many are trying to make boards so flat they not longer fit in the curve of the wave. The board you have shown here looks like it can handle some enormous drops!
Well, I already posted this one in the “Surfing Art by Shapers” thread, but I think it belongs here, too. My longest gun ever made at 12’3" (still 3’ 2" short of Gene’s 15’5"… Lol.)
I will take that as a positive comment. I hope it is… Lol.
Actually, I didn’t change much from the original blank rocker (12’3" Burford, narrowed and gun-rockered; The basic 12’3" blank is a mega-longboard blank. Couldn’t find any specific gun-blank in this size at the time I needed it and this one looked OK so I went with it…)
