I got the cure for the summertime blues...

Bad weather, not so hot waves, heaps of work (late) and a general bluesy feeling… I had to react and do something about it. Like make a 6’2" that would float my 200 Lbs and ride like a skateboard in summer mushy beachbreak surf. And be nice to look at…

Love that shape! Would work great in the waves we have here in holland :smiley:

Finless?

Gotta love your French style Balsa, and French actresses too. Oooh-la-la…looks loose…

Wildy, Monica is actually italian, not french. Oh well, this is Europe, after all. Smallwaves, not finless, probably quad (works well with over-wide tails like this one.)

Looks like it would ride well.

Gazongas!! That’s got some nice … ermm flotation … erhmm… yeah…

LOL!

Bien joue Monsieur Balsa!!

At long last! Happy to see that she’s finally off of the shelf and onto the blank.

Some very serious curves my friend.

I don’t think she has an over-wide tail. As for nationality, whatever…she certainly speaks my language!

Yeah, is that why she’s on the bottom and not on the top?

Well, errrrrr, how can I put that? No.

vincent could be jealousasyou rideher

beautiful !

let us know how she rides eh ?

oh and the board looks interesting , by the way

you naughty NAUGHTY frenchman

go hard then go home

ben

[or if you prefer , stay hard at home …]

she’s lovely! that’s for sure. a companinion for any of the four seasons if you ask me.

Haha NICE. You should have put Eva Green on it though being French… Or the Chick from Flyboys. She was hot too and I think she was actually french also. I could be wrong.

Oh, you can’t go wrong with Megan Fox either :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Looks erhm, nice and uh, um, ah, hahaha

Nathan, i’ve always been a Monica BELLUCCI fan. What’s more, she (and her husband Vincent CASSEL, a french actor) spends part of her holidays where I live and rumor has it that they might buy a house here. Vincent is into surfing a lot and if I could shape a board for him, I’d be very happy… So maybe they’ll have a look at this one and then who knows, eh…?

Could you imagine if Balsa put her on the top, even just waxing her up would cause a problem in the wetsuit fitting department let alone trying to lie down on it…

Great looking board…

no waves here in the adriatic coast, so this is my placebo cure.

Spaeking of which (since I can now blame you for the OT :slight_smile: Hicksy, is it time for an update on the “world’s largest skateboard” thread?

That would be awesome dude, I was just thinking of two fine French actresses I’ve seen. Something about the innocence Jennifer Decker conveyed in Flyboys was really cute to me haha. I was so sad/mad when it said he never found her… But then I’m a hopeless romantic so… :stuck_out_tongue:

you know you are a shaper when:

a) you look at the rocker and outline before realizing the lady in the lam on it.

b) you think it was wake board shape before seeing her rack

c) you think about the boards tail rather than chasing her for tail

as for the pic

bow chka wow wow

as for the board, does it use 6 2 C rocker? and what fin arragement if any you are going to be using it for?
