the thing was skiny, after spending 6 weeks or so building a hollow i really needed to mow some foam and it just so happened to be the day my line manager said we could have a ‘play day’ at work… students being on hols as its easter!
so i threw caution to the wind and just did it. epoxy glassing the hollow with RR really taught me some stuff so just put that into practice.
i now have a board i can play with as i dont have too much feeling for it. so im thinking of beefing up the rails to start with, then maybe slice the fins off and fit a load of fcs plugs… and i mean a load ala chipfish! so if your listening chipfish i wouldnt mind a few pointers. ill post a rail shot in a mo.
then ill maybe paint it up and hand it around anyone who fancies riding it.
ok here is a pic of the tail. rear fins are 5" from tail front fins are 11" from tail both at 1" from rail and 7degrees of cant, front toed in to the nose, rears 2" ahead of nose. width at 1 foot from tail is 14"
im thinking of eventually slicing these fins off and fitting loads of fcs plugs to play around… anyone got any thoughts???
okay folks, i think i might be able to sell this one to a mate for his 13 yr old son!
he rang last night and is after something for june for when he takes him away to newquay.
this will then give me some cash to buy some more resin and glass and some more probox from our uk supplier…cheers to larry and robin, tims a top guy, we spoke a few yrs ago and he got back to me straight off!
so my question is do i leave the glass on fins on the board in their current position or do i slice them off and slap something mainstream in like fcs and if so what position/options should i give this little grom? id do probox guys but i dont think his dad can stretch to that.
im going to sand it off, spray some colour on it then give it a topcoat, sanded finish im thinking.
