It’s been a while since I have been active here. I need to start checking/posting for often again. Ever since Jalama was announced as the destination this year for the annual camp out I have been slowly constructing a board for the occasion. The board is now complete, but, I took a few pictures along the way.
Let’s see if I can figure out how to post pictures again. It looks like the UI has changed yet again.
Nice post, clearly shows the process and does so simply. Did you use a scribe tool to lay out your tape lines? Ride report yet? I agree with keith about the logo.
EDIT: One more question. When you show your sanding tools pic, you have a giant tape ball looking thing in the bottom left. What is that for?
Hi Scott. I like it. A simple, functional, elegant design. Nothing to confuse the water molecules. I probably won’t make Jalama do do family stuff, but have something to send you. PM me an address, please. Mike

No. I free handed the tape
Ride report yet?
Not yet

I wrapped up some iron weights with foam and tape. I place it on the board whenever I need stability.
I love seeing simple(as in clear pics and descriptions) build threads…Reminds me of the “old days”(for me, which would be 2004-2009). Build threads rule. Thanks for posting that.
I made a few of these little guys a while back and have been itching to add them to one of my boards. I’m thinking about surfing this board once without the little ply fin (shown below). Then I’ll tack it on and try again to see if there is a difference. If there is no improvement then I can just grind it off.
Has anyone tried a similar setup? If so, how did it go?
