Finished glassing these babies today. The UV catalyst with an un painted board gives it a Cool Green look.

Howzit Bill, Actually posting pics in the message takes up room on the server and there have been a couple of times when that caused problems with this site so it's better to do them as an attachment. If you check the pics in a message there is also the attachment link, so it's no big thing not being able to put the pics in the message.Aloha,Kokua

Thanks for the photos everyone !!! Looking for more…

Soulslider- first photo is True Ames fins aprox 4.5". Glassed onto Chano’s latest board. Second and third photo are birch plywood fins made by Shipman glassed on by Stingray. I don’t know the sizes.

Chano-I had fun working on your board!

Chipfish I like the clear/blue fins

Bill B.- Nice glass-on. Do you have any more long board or singlefin stuff. I’m going to learn to make that cool resin bead on th back of the fins some day.

Josh-Crazy channels.

Fishexp- Cool fish.

Share the Stoke…

Here’s an 80’s board that I’m fixing. Need to sand the hot coat. Fins are really fat. Look like they are foam core.
