That’s a pretty nice wood-inlay in your floor, Sirwanksalot…
This guy has only shaped about 6 boards and he’s making templates (and boards) like that already. Now if he could only find his thing in the dark without a flashlight…
There’s way too much porn in your TV cabinet Sir WAL…
Nice outline. What’s going on in the last foot or so of the tail?
MR just called. He wants his template back.
Looks like an Al merrick Sashimi

Best ever, Mike.
Wrong number. Inspired by D.T. Same ol’ shit anyway. I’ll give Simon my $5 then he’ll pass it to Malcolm then he’ll pass it to …
And here’s a George Costanza inspired quote, “The jerk store called and they’re out of you.”

Wanks very much for sharing. And don’t forget to use your left hand when the right one gets tired. Even better still, put your planer down first. Wank on!

…i 'm so pleased to see people here posting photos of boards and fins again ! … now , if we can have some riding reports , too …then sways will be getting back to what it is [in my opinion , anyway] meant to be all about…]
Nose is 14 Tips are 5 5/8 Wings are at 8 1/8 Fins are at 10 1/4 Tail is 15. If I remember correctly the rocker is something like 4 1/2 in the nose and 1 5/8 in the tail. I could be completely wrong about the rocker and it’s raining now so I can check tomorrow. This was the first shape that came out clean enough for a tint. Bammbamm watched the poor performance with the bottom lam and made me mime out the process and coached me through the deck lam. Also the cutlaps, paste, hotcoat and pinlines. I got to watch him sand it. I need to buy him lunch a few times for not allowing me to murder it with the sander. Going through the process of a color board is more tedious than a clear but there defiantly more of a sense of accomplishment. And Yellow is the easy color! I can’t wait to try a different color tint but I’ll first work on getting the technique for laminating down.
thanks ben
…did you see the article on akila aipa’s twinny’s in the recent ‘surfing’ ?
he made some good design points , i thought !
…so…

cheers
ben
