My First Board

Just though i’d post a few pics of my first board

6’2’’ x 20’’ x 2 7/8’’

Glassed on fin

6oz top and bottom

It’s been excellent fun and i can’t wait to start my next board


great looking board Chaz! i’m in the process of shaping my first board too (a singlefin as well). how big is that fin? looks super fun. did you glass it yourself?

Hey JDM

Thanks for the comments… The Fin is a RFC 8’’ Bio Flex - Removed the fin head & reused as the leash loop.

I glassed it myself. Found the glassing harder than the shaping. Learnt heaps whilst doing it though. Probably gonna try a twin fin next…

Good luck with your board dude, post the pics ; )

Outline…

Pin-lines



Well done! You should be proud. Making them and riding them is a feeling that can’t be felt unless you have tried it!

great work mate that board looks like it will rip it up on all sorts of surf.

keep up the good work and good luck with your next board

chaz, im definately planing to post. i’ve pretty much documented the entire process although i’m not glassing it myself (i don’t have enough room). i’ve learned so much about design and theory and such. from what i can see, great job on the glassing, everything looks really smooth and nice. pics will be up very shortly. planing on finishing the shaping tomorrow.

chaz: very, very nice. looks just right for a little walled-up head high slippage. i love glassed on fins. yours promises lots of flex & squirt & fun. happy surfing to you mate.

Chaz, great first effort. Like the logo. Are you going fishy with the next shape? Rich

Hey Rich

Thanks mate, Yeah something fishy, Quad Fishy…

Trying to get through it now, but new baby is taking up most of my time : )
