There seems to be a little too much levity going on in your lab , surfboard building isn’t just about having fun you know.
Why some people spend their whole lives making toys in a very serious fashion not posing for photos with a shit eating grin all the time !!!
No come to think about it is fun and you guys are having plenty.
Keep it coming
Cheers

I can’t say, but he looks even more low-tech than you… no vacuum bags, variacs, hot wires, etc
PS I heard that he might be having a low-tech burger fest at his house this afternoon, and that San Diego Swayloqueros are welcome…
Hummmmm, resinburgers

Howzit Keith,I don't know who he is but I like the way the rails were cut and then he did a freat job of wetting them out,seems like he knows what he is doing. Aloha,Kokua
I had the opportunity to hang out at the LTL this weekend. We glassed a couple of REALLY big blanks that I shaped out of a big block of EPS. I learned a ton, and it was a lot of fun. Markssd, Stringray, and I worked the whole day long taping, cutting fiberglass, mixing colored resin, spreading huge cups of resin, razor blading tape lines, pulling tape, and flinging colored resin all over the place. Here are some pics…
GREAT stuff
FUN is what it is all about !
keep the photos coming ...

....when you do a spray like that , are you using REAL ferns , or is it a reusable cardboard stencil , mate ?
I like the look if it ...
....will the deck be a diffent coloured fern spray , I wonder ?
.... Is the board for you , do you 'S.U.P ' ??
kastly , the yellow board with the red ..'flicks'...yeah ? [resin flicked on , with a brush , is that what you did THERE , Ray ? ] ...or , is it sprayed , perhaps ?!
