scored a free long board that needed alot of work.I had a vision of scraping the middle section out and make a mini sims on the cheap. I also got xtra fiberglass cloth some how from my dealer. got 6’ x 22’ 2.25" of foam outta it .
I will update as I go
enjoy
TT-nice pics, looking forward to seeing the build.
Nice one. I love those threads. Sadly it’s kinda hard to get my hands on old big boards here in the middle of germany.
some more from todays progress.special thanks to blending curves.com for the template.
*bonus pic of my 6’x8’ shack where the magic happens
Rocker or lack of rocker would be my only worry. Nose flip on those little boards is important…good use of a broken board !
thumbs up.
traced and cut.still need to square off cut. rocker profile pic.thinking of some tie dye fabic cloth to hide the funk.
made a little progress. about 1 hour total so far. sanded edges down. and hit deck with 80 grit with sander for a few minutues. kinda funky to “shape” with the deck already domed and has ding repairs on the rails so hard to make even.
gonna thin out tail and round off rails more next.liking the super thick stringer,seemed easier to NOT hit foam on the sides of it.
still at $0.00
stopped by the fabric store, all the good stuff was $12 a yard so went to the discounted section.found some funky gray $ cloth @ $3 a yard x 4 yards.+tax
$15 so far
had some nice fins laying around I got for $30 a pair. fins made by Lance Carsten by the way. glassed on, hot coat , sanded fins
$45 so far
pretty happy how it came along. got to try some cloth inlay and have some fun.It was a funky little build but well worth it. took about 3-5 hours of here and there touches.
total cost with brushes and epoxy resin about $75.
thanks for looking
Tom
Very very cool Tom!
I’d say you knocked that one out of the park!
Wow, awesome job man!!! Epic build, love it.
Very hipster, go to Byron Bay. you’ll sell a bunch of em…
good job. looks fun as.
Love that.
All the best
Full fabric, very nice TT!
ChaChing!
Nice one Tom.
How’s she ride? -> 'Ray mentioned earlier “Rocker or lack of rocker would be my only worry. Nose flip on those little boards is important”; based on your ride report, would you change anything on it?
Cheers.
That is awesome. And not that it matters, but isn’t $3/yd x 6 yds = $18
thanks for the kudos.
good eye monk star.It was only 4 yards amd actually $3.33 came out to $15 even with tax / typo 
so I took it out today before work for 45 minutes in 5’-7’ clean stuff. It did great on the paddle power being 2"ish thick.got about 5 waves.1st one wipe out,2nd wave the best ride on it,few tight turns. got a couple ok rides.flat rocker no problem if on a late drop.really fast too
when I got out I saw one of my hand made customs board in the parking lot and dude was loving his board I made him.that made my day
good clean fun
tom
