KP asked me to post these. Here is simply an example of a new Greg Liddle 6’4" modified displacement hull surfboard:
I especially like this shot:

ahhhh back to the essence of the original thread, nice to see we're all being civil again!7’ x 22" x 3 1/16"
Very cool looking board. Is this not the chambered board? If not, what is it?
not the chambered one, that one is coming along still, im unmotivated from lack of waves…so new projects are moving quicker!
this one is foam w/ 1/8" paulownia skins and 1/2" solid rails, much much much lighter!
Oh. Ok. How did you put the skins on? Did you vac bag it? I hear that’s the best way.
Hey surferguy80
how does the light one go? i thought hulls liked a bit of weight?

ah, just finished today…no surfing yet; and by light im talking somewhere around 10-12 lbs as a guess until i find a good scale. light as compared to my chambered board which is 3x heavier.
Here is an old Liddle from '78. Greg was kind enough to send me a copy of the original order placed by my brother.
Cost? $142.04. 7’10" X 22 1/4" X 3 3/8". NR = 4 1/2", TR = 1" according to order sheet… I have not checked to verify if he hit those numbers.

Nice looking board. What type and density of foam did you use? I’m thinking of doing a similar board with 0.75# polystyrene to get the flex going, but it would come out around 8 pound…
John, those numbers change an 1/8 to a 1/4 in. after glassing with volan, same today.

There is some small wind swell in the water right now (at least down here). Here is my local secret spot this morning. Would have been fun if I didn’t have to work.
Early, before McTavish, a John Bradbury shorty.
weird how my phone didn’t ring this morning…
Yeah! Skip, Brad was right on the shortboards , and was makin a few for Jeff Hackman at the time, I miss him, always a good guy to me.

No concave… the board is a full foiled hull. Many brain cells spent on fin shape and placement. Two years from brain fart to fruition with this one.
Matt, if you were asking me… the last time I surfed was Saturday afternoon 5/24. When I took the twin fin for a spin. Or should I call it the 2 fin foil??

I think I posted these before but I thought it was worth seeing again.
Thanks Jim,
Always good to see a classic again… and again…
Beautiful foil.
