Summer Builds

Been  a longtime lurker here and figured it was time to post some of my boards finally. Be gentle . . . Top board is a 9’8" x 3 x 23 - Extra nose rocker to get in early but belly bottom, 50/50 rails and v out the tail for some fun walking not so much noseriding. 

The zebra stripe is a 9’6" x 23" x 3" retro style log, flat bottom, little extra foam in the nose cause my buddy has a problem pearling. V out tail 

Mini symm Stretch - Black / Orange - 6’0" x 23" x 2" 3/4 flat bottom keel fins.  

The wing is a bonzer bottom project, still trying to find time while shaping some for friends but 6’0" x 20" at hips. Going to run a 5 inch hatchet center with traingle side bites out the channel.  

The final is a board shaped for my friend and best shortboarder I know. First owned log, its 9’10" (he is about 245) but assymetrical out the tail and hips left side slightly more pulled in right side bit more straightened out. Feel free to comment and critique. Lams are getting tighter and lines truer, all the boards ride pretty well. Drop some knowledge on me, feel free to pm me as well im on the east coast and looking for some balsa to shape a board over the winter.  In between projects for buds.

Also many props to greenlight surf supply and poster’s here on Sways. I have tried to reach out to some local shapers in my area to show me some things in exchange for cleaning up the shop for them and such, with no response. So once again thanks.

Jolly check your PM

Like your new avatar.  You have been a busy boy.

This is rad!

What am I looking at?  More pics of this one!

Indeed.

Do tell.

Sorry was out of town. Some more picks of the Sacred Spear below, eps blank glued up 3 cedar stringers inside is 3mm, outside is 5mm each. Epoxy glass on it now, still awaiting hot coats while I work out fins, idea is center hatchet fin, and bonzer style triangle runners.  Love to hear some ideas though .

Also the pool has got a tarp for the winter now, hense the murky look. Trying to get my glassing better everyday and trying to move towards come half compsand / eps with wood rail type builds if I can find the materials for the right price. Just uprgraded my vac set up though by adding a slinky hose. Anyone near the NY / NJ / Long Island area that has a pin on some balsa etc . let me know I can find plenty of cedar out this way if need be though.
