Hey guys! Thanks so much for the feedback after my last post here. I’m now wondering whether I should go with a quad on this 6’5”x21”x2.4” shape. Thinking quad with its current tail shape.
Anyway, for glassing, I’ve had this idea of doing an epoxy swirl for the bottom. Really, though, it’s just going to be with light blue and dark blue since I only have one tint color. I figure this will be easier for my first glassing job than a solid color tint because I wont have to worry about color being uneven as it’ll be intentionally uneven. Has anyone tried using just a dark/light tint combo? If so, how’d it look? I understand that adding black or white would make it a lot cooler, but I’m going for simplicity (or just not buying more colors).
Before anyone questions my decision to go with color and a cut lap on my first job… I have a fair philosophy. If my first board’s a learning experience anyway, I may as well practice as many techniques as I can, including laps and color.
Anyways, I want to thank this community for being so helpful. Thank you all!
For me quad for fast waves where you mostly speed surf down the line. Thruster better for waves that let you time to go top to bottom. So 5 boxes for versatility.
It’s less that I’m looking for “easy” and more that I think this idea would be comparatively easier than a solid color tint. And like I said, I want to experiment with different techniques on my first job so that my second is already better/more refined.
That looks like a stretched Mini Simmons, I would have thought a Quad or a Twin would be great options. Twinzer??
Great looking board, well done. I tend to agree on your colour tint experiment. Why not try and learn as much as possible in one board. I think when you’re beginning learning takes precedence over aesthetics.
