Dang Paul, we have a few too many  things in common! I am a few weeks older than you and close to the same size. Happy b-day. Nice corky board, I had to laugh every time I looked at my first cork skin–so easy! You may want to give the cork a sealer coat before you glass. They opened up a great new bakery in my hood called Devil’s Tooth, so hard to pass up after a long surf.

I picked up a Arctic Foam 6’8"fish blank with 4 7/8NR & 2 1/8 TR yesterday and will have to give an oldfart short board a go.
