That’s very cool, Tim is riding his 8’4’’ PHD hot Generation in that one shot. Marc doing pretty good for his back being broken not even a year ago.
KP, It’s 8’. BJ hit it out of the park with this board. I’d recommend it to anyone.
Speaking of Kevin Platt…I have a recently made 7’6" Cord logo “Acid drop” which has a concave nose with a v-bottom tail, 50/50 rails, glassed on single which was shaped by Chops Lascelle with resin swirl and glassing done at Hayden’s which is a km from my place.
Like listening to Humphrey’s stories of the early days of Hayden’s and the crew who worked there.
Just waiting on the SW’ers to blow to smooth out this swell to put the little 6’2" Keane through its paces.
Next time I’m down the Goldie I’d like to drop in and see some of your boards.
I’m guessing the 7’er will be with Fong?
Even Hayden’s house at Alex is gone now.
Bunch of units where it stood.
Hayden’s Kunda park factory sure as hell doesn’t have the outlook of the old one.
The move must have helped productivity though.
Got pics of that board Tim?
Shoots that video makes me home sick...
I know this is a post ur pics thread but i noticed a lot of questions about bondoing(is that a word?) pressure dings on the bottom of ur hull. No one really gave much for answers so i decided to put up a little how to. While its fairly easy, there are a couple things that need to be paid attention to. First getting the right stuff. Regular car bondo or all purpose bondo wont do. It will eventually soak up water. I went to Crystaliner in Costa Mesa and picked up 3M lightweight marine body filler.
Besides that you need all this stuff in the first pic. Make sure to get all the different grades of sandpaper and something to smooth out the bondo.

After you have all the stuff prep the board with coarse sandpaper. Then mix ur bondo to the specs on the back. Work fast because it will get hard on you. Put board in sun to harden faster. Once hard then you can begin sanding. Working from coarse to fine sandpaper. And laslty ending with a wetsand. I found that the foam sanding blocks work great in getting it even.
And the finished product:

Doesnt look that pretty but what hull does. Im sure the guy I bought this board from on this site is cringing right now. Sorry, but i hate leashes.(Good day at Swamis until this happened) Anyways, that was pretty longwinded but hopefully it helps some of the other guys out.
I’lll probably see Chops this weekend in Cornwall and will get him to have a look at this post . Then I will ply him with a few beers and wallow in some stories. He shaped me a lovely Acid Drop .
cheers

Here’s a good read for you…

Huie may have a different take on these recollections though.
See, I knew you’d have a different perspective.
No intention to open up any can of worms though.
