Hi Ben, I have long center boxes. For the proboxes, do you have inserts? What degrees would you like. I have 4, 6 and 8. I could send a set of 3 inserts for each plug. I’ve been using these up again, but think I I can send you 2 boxes.
Do you need glass? I have a lot of a heavier glass about 8 oz, not sure if I sent some to you with the last batch of stuff. You’d need to wet out both sides to saturate it good. I have some 4 oz surfboard glass too. I’ll send enough for a 6’ long board.
PM your address. I’ll try to get this sent ASAP.
For your board, I’ve been riding a short board with a wide round nose, and wide rounded off square tail, like an MP stubby. I make the end of the board about the length of my foot. I’m planning on making another one but pull in the nose. I made the board as a thruster and I’m using FCS H2 fins. I don’t know if it’s the fins or not, but the board flies, and being only 6’4" I can it to turn on a dime. I just added a set of boxes to a Griffin style hovercraft (Griffin’s board and my board pictured here) I made to make it a thruster setup and hope to see how well they work in that board.
I like this shape , that I saw on Instagram today , speaking of m.p. stubby-like boards.
The widowmaker Neal Purchase Jnr- type fin setup looks good to me , but yeah , I would still like quad fin option too, when not using the single fin.
Be nice to do a kinda bonzer mini-runner widowmaker setup too , as I did in the past , with my ‘prawn’ board , during my former “chipfish61” and “chipfins61” days here at swaylock’s…
So , a YEAR on from when I rescued the board… Going to pull in the tail , put in a single fin box , two side plugs…
Possibly the same spray as my “prawn” had . Or , an orange tint.
More photos to come , once the glass is stripped off , and the reshape starts !
Cheers !
