The biggest Board I ever shaped. Maui while chilling out the winter blues a few years back. My buddy Bird had a 12 foot paddle board blank. He asked me to shape something special. It was 12’ x 24" x 3.5" Bird is Maui’s best glasser hands down.
That is a fine looking fishing board. That is something I would like to build. You can have SUP surfing. But a roof top fishing board would be Very Cool !!!
How did you set up your pole mounts. I can’t see ? Show us
Looks like they are mounted to the crate but you better give us more pics just to confirm! I could use this as a tarpon slaying sled, could you imagine the ride that would be!
Yep I did all the work on the beast. I glassed it in two halves with Resin Research epoxy. I just did a 6 oz top and a 6 oz bottom, so it a bit delicate, but super light weight. The whole deal with boxes, pads etc weighs about 30 lbs. The front box is a Igloo cooler from one of those wheelie units. I just unscrewed the wheelie unit, made the rod holders out of 1 1/2 pvc and bolted them down with a backer place, I have a dry bag that has a radio, food. clothing, tackle box etc...and it velcro closes tight. The rear cooler is a 25 qt cooler thats plumbed for a live bait well / fish box. I bought a PVA fitness pad from walmart and glued it down with spray adhesive, it's a manly diamond plate design. I cut it into smaller squares so the water would drain around my feet. I got leash plugs all over the place to hold down spearfishing gear, poles, stringers...i can move the boxes more forward or move them back.
It's a riot when I put it on top of my car and drive to the beach.. Things as long as my car.
Let's see; Dave Gott glasses for Ole, Timpone, Mark Anderson, Charlie Smith, Wayne Cochran(Maui Surfboards,) Duane Ignacio(In Deep) Duane also works for Dave, Velzy, Tom Parrish and a couple of others I may have omitted. Are there any other shapers on Maui? Kidding of course. But Dave glasses for 2/3 of all the the shapers on the Island. The other 1/3 glass their own. Dave has owned that shop for at least ten years now. Purchased from Jeff. Five and sometimes six days a week. He's good and so is Duane and "Z" his sander/poliser.
