My own fish (WIP)

great foil & planshape. i look forward to seeing the keels & the final glassed, polished, pinlined result.

lob,

Are you going to bevel the butt crack? Mike

I just visited the glasser.

The work keeps going on.

Customers come frist off cours and my board comes after…

But it’ll come and surf soon.

Just a few sanding minutes and so on and it’s done.

looks great mate!

Pictures talk better than words sometimes.

…ooh la la , c’est magnifique !

well done , pote !

salut !

ben

you are from Bordeaux? That board reminds me more of a Champagne. Say, a 1990 Dom Perignon. What a beauty!!! Looks like it will be very fun to surf…

lob: such a beautiful waveriding toy! i’m stoked for you. congratulations!

Lob,

That is some fine craftsmanship. I am getting stoked just reading this to get started on my own fish! Just tell me, from the foil view it looks like you have a flat section in your tail rocker, is that correct and if so, how does this work? I have been hearing some different opinions about fish rockers and I would like to hear the nitty gritty about it.

About the rocker matter…

I mus say that pictures do not help the board as she is really fantastic in the real life… (kidding… a bit).

The fact is I had to do with a 6’5" from the 80’s.

At those times, rockers on blanks and board was different from what we see today.

Fortunately, I have a picture showing a cross section of the blank as I cout it by the middle.

As you ca see, the first half is almost flat and the seconf half really curvy…

SO…

I could not really do as I generaly do…

But I’ve tryed the board in 40cm high waves… it looks like everything is fine.

Who is this handsome young man holding your half-blank in the picture?

A dangerous psycho-blank-killer some people say…
