Hey yall-merry christmas! Recently I was talking with Pete Casica and I believe he mentioned sharing some images of what I have been working on on swaylocks. Recently I had a guy ask for a hansen 50-50 reference. So I did a 9’8 19x24x17.5 refined a bit from its old school roots. Rolled bottom, 50/50 rail a bit thinner than the OG but still full enough to be of the noserider variety, thin foil, and versatile rocker. 1"balsa with black glue. 2 layers of 7.5 volan on deck + deckpatch, 2 layers on bottom + finpatch. opaque white 10.25" glassed on fin. 1/4" white resin tail block. Gloss/Polished finish. Came out a beaut! Stoked to share it! and thanks to Lowel who helped me locate a proper curve to get started with.
That spin template came off of a Doyle Proto-type that I owned for a # of years and was sold to Pancho’s Surf Shop in Pismo Beach in about 2002. The board was an easy 9 out of 10 condition. Purchased originally at a Seymour auction in the late 90’s. Why I wound up with so many Hansens over the years; I will never understand. The old 747 fins had a Mahogany ply center. Good job Nick.
