This board was shaped from a custom blank from Segway composites. 2.5 lb EPS with 1/4" basswood stringer. Ken at Segway delivered the blank at a demo day at Ace’s shop in OB. I had the opportunity to meet Greg Loehr from Resin Research and watched Greg shape a board in Ace’s shaping room. My son was with me, and he picked up a blank from Ken which he turned into a nice 6’-8" gun.
The pics show the raw blank and partially shaped with rail bands.
These are pics of the finished board with glass on fin. Glassing is 6 oz + 7.5 oz Volan on deck and bottom with Resin Research epoxy. I put just a touch of white pigment in the laminating batches. Finish is sanded to 400 grit.
Fiberglass and Resin Research epoxy were purchased at Basham’s in San Clemente.
This board weighs 23 pounds. It does not have a leash attachment.
Nice board, Paul. When I look at your square off tail it says to me,"wooden tail block. Mike
