No problem posting the pics, now that I (sort of) cracked the code.
Just came in from hulling the TS Colin swell here, a few extremely down-the-line gems between the close-outs. Running through the gears....
huie, would you really prefer to start another thread? I thought that bit of history would be appropriate here, but either way I have a feeling you've got a story to tell about that period/place that should be heard. You wuz THERE!
And since this is a ''pic'' thread...
haaa’’ mike this is a nice quite thread we dont need the worlds biggest train wreck.
a coil hull yes will go like the clappers.
** cheers huie

You're right, don't want to eff up this thread - but I still want to hear a first-hand account of those days from someone who was actually cutting the foam.
What's a good title for a new thread? I'll start it, God knows I'm a troublemaker...
HEY! Mr. shapes thought you have dropped off the old planet , I remember that board maybe one of your 1rst? Buckley got a light blue one around then, we were in 11th grade, that was a GOOD board also. You never looked back after that, a couple of years later and you and I were surfing everyday , I look back now, man we were havin the time of our surfing lives! People come by my place to pickup boards and they are still all interested in the 3 boards of your boards that I have . Keep in touch Tim !

Very nice!
I just scored this 7’3 “evo hull” shaped by Jordan and glassed by Sean from Note Surfboards. This one was made for Alex Kopps, but I nabbed it!!! It’s 22 and 1/2 wide and 2 and 1/2 thick. It’s got a bit of a hip on it, so I’m keen to see how she rides!
nice board
Thanks Huie, I can’t wait to get it wet! Tomorrow looks promising!
Beautiful boards. I especially like the lines on the Velo. Stubbies: I’m pretty sold on the fact that for shorter hulls, three fins get the most out of the design. It takes a while to dial the positions. However, the gains in stability are well worth the patience. Also, I’ve noticed a different sense of drive from the three fins. I first experienced it on a 3fin Hawaiikine. I just loved the feel backside esp.
Here’s a three fin Burrito Deluxe inspired I’m loving a lot these days.
It’s a 5’8
Hi, Sutho, nice to meet you. an come to me, I live in Campina, for teach me surf?
Here’s a Liddle that looks like it’ll cook when burning down the line:
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha… LOL.
Thanks for sharing this post
First, i’d like to thank every one here for all the beautiful pics and all the informations.
I’m planning to shape for me something hullish.
But i still have a question about how wide the board should be.
I’ll surf this board in Morocco’s very long point break.
I’ll be there during the winter so the average size i’d like to surf it is shouder high to well over head.
Last year, i shaped a kind of hullish egg(7’8 x 18 x 22 1/4 15 x 3) to have a fist approach,i didnt had the right blank so it’s not a “real” one, but is OK. Can be turn from the middle, sink the rail.
This time i feel more ready to shape something with the full suit!!!
I was thinking something like 7’2 x 18 x 22@8 x 14.75 x3 round nose, rounded square tail. 4.25 nose kick and 1.5 tail rocker.
I think i have enough curve from the wide point to the tail. I’m very satisfied with the template i made.
I’ve seen that most of the one posted here are more than 22" wide.
So here my question: do you thing 22" is ok or do i really need to go wider as the very thin rails can be sink more easily?
I’ll surf mostly in a mellow point but sometimes on faster points.
5’8" x 23.5" x 2.625"
It is fall and I am with out new hull… ( 8…>(
I recently spent some quality time surfing the southern points of Baja Sur. I brought four of these gems along. It’s very rare (at least for me) to have one shaper really make a gigantic difference in my surfing. These boards know where to go already, I just have to submit. I ordered a brand new board from Marc before he went on vacation. Can’t wait for number 7. Enjoy.
