next glue up build & some new stoke/updated ride report

[mattwho]

Last build was the patriotic glue up, done.

Glued up another one debating on Godzilla or the Hulk.

Hulk it is, green and black glue lines with a purple pin line (a ways off).

You can notice a difference in outline from my 2nd. HA!

Back from a surf I needed to feel some sense of accomplishment and my rush to get moving on this board, I can only laugh at myself, as I laid it out, drew my lines and got my Skil saw ready I took a break.

Upon returning I noticed the rocker looked strange, OMG backwards.

Already cut to length it looked like “Tomo” time. Saved it and a very interesting shape came to life.

Photo#1 proto type.

Photo #2 “Captain America

And on to the Hulk…

Well done , very innovative .

Not so much my idea.

This one Greg Griffen is the “creator”.

Also it works wonders in junky surf and good stuff too!

Here is the why.

Grandkids give em the stoke early!

Photographic evidence confirms what others have asserted all along: surfamaboards are pool toys. I love her face on the last pic. Way to go Matt!  -J

Made 3 the “Hulk” was narrower.

Was a little concerned because the first two were more in line with GG’s and this one would not be as quick.

See for yourself…

BTW, its been years since the kelp bed at Emma was my go-to spot, but I have lots of fond memories of that place!  Haven’t made the loooong paddle out to the “overhead” (reef) out there in years either!
