hahaha... yeah, "some guy"
thanks for the kind compliments!
there’s 2 more to finish and I’ll get them up too…
The green one is respectfully based on work by Zeph Carigg, so I don’t want to give too much away on an online forum…
Nice shapes, too… real nice.
Here are a few in production at the shop.

Hey All,
Its been a while since we did a glassing video, so today we filmed a mexican blanket resin pattern on a mini simmons. The video is a bit long and unedited. Let me know what you think.

I think it is F&cking awesome!!.
When you've poured your main resin on with the bucket, and you pull the resin off from the stringer to the rail, could you use that technique for all lams? I find wetting the laps can be tricky, but when you did it then from stringer out to the rail i noticed the laps wet out very well.
Great work. Im not waiting for my PC to laod up the resin swirl one!
XPS bonzer, just mixing standard acrylic paints into little cups of RR2000 then attacking the lam and seeing what happens, haven't had that much fun in a long time. Seems to have cured ok, which was my main worry. 6'2 with 8.5" fin. Surfed it today in headhigh tubes, it floats : ) Pretty good in the barrel, 8.5" isn't being pushed off course by the foam. Gonna take a while to get it sussed out.
XPS 5'7 Twinzer, my first attempt at playing with colours in the resin... Love surfing it

Very good Austins!!!
two thumbs up!
here is my first striped board. Thank you Austin, I picked up the water bottle tip from you.... I did learn that i need a biger/better squeege and planty of towels to wipe it. For a first attempt I like it.
Great work Robb. And love the color. My wife won’t let me build boards in the kitchen anymore.
