Well…the last on that stingray started went on SO LONG and got SO BIG that it fell off the radar.

So, in stingray’s honor, I am starting a new one!

Come on in and show us what you got!

I willl start it off with this little one…

For all of you who think I only make weird, funky, 26 fin surfboards…this is for you.

My first time .

Glassing , Resin swirls and color collaboration Ian and myself . Ian’s help allowed us to come up with such a cool first one . Now the fun part that was the bottom . My older son said I want to help glass the deck , I said sure . So at 5pm on saturday , we went for it . .At 50 degrees and 1 1/5 % catalyst , 24 hours later it still has’nt kicked yet , but thats okay . I did learn alot never at 50 degrees again . The resin did’nt flow that well , the laps did’nt get wet so we threw a lot more resin at it . It had a bunch a drips and runs this morning . I could sure use that hi tech sander with vacumn . can’t wait to sand a hotcoat .

Thanks again to all the swaylocks people for the tricks tips and enthusiasm . VIVA LA SWAYLOCKS JAMES

"...not a Gay love...."

Hehehe...

Hey Todd, I'd looked at your webby a while back and seen that you indeed don't only make 26 finners...

Latest ready for glassing, 6'2 x 19, Paulonia bottom skin. Changed my reinforcement core blocks from pink to grey out of sheer homophobia...

And a 7'6 hybrid for a lady, stars and rainbows, not gay at all!!!

Nice work!

Nice looking board Todd (and everyone else for that matter!). Here's one I've started yesterday. A take off on an Ozzie Wright model for a former local ripper now residing in V County CA.

Here's the rough outline. Self-made 2lb EPS foam blank. 5-6 x 19.25 +/-

Finished about a week ago; (Mahalo to Mike Daniel for his input)

A new gun for me (I’m 5’8 x 140)

7’0 x 18-1/4 x 2-1/4 PUPE

Nice board Bud. I notice that you have a good amount of rocker in the back half of the board. I’ve been using more tail rocker and I like it. It seems to work better when you have powerful waves. My BK from about 1993 or so has very little rocker in the back half of the board. The flatter rocker is fast, but sometimes I don’t want the board to be so fast, but more controlled.

Reading that reminds me what an individual "sport" surfing is and how hard (impossible?) it is to nail down the perfect board for all riders.

chrisp · December 14, 2009, 11:50pm

i've always wondered about those traction pads Bud. seem pretty cool.

i'm assuming because it's tacked to the wall you didn't like it?

MikeDaniel · December 15, 2009, 12:50am

Hey Bud, that thing should have gotten some use by now, howzit go? You should put up the profile shot too!

(remind me to talk to you about that surform I see in your room, we can fix that)

wouter · December 15, 2009, 1:41am

well, how adequate,

after some nasty fisherman tried to catch my fish, i had to do surgery

so, some pics

before:

words: took down ALL the paint, and resprayed the lot, added leash plug, fixed d… bottom…

didnt like it, redid it…

i would also like advice, for the lacquer dripped, forming thicker lines/waves, shit as…

just wait till it is hard and sand down with 400 grit, and respray? [or wax and surf of course]

oh, and i think i will add more black lines on top, near nose, to complete the picture

plus the bottom, more paint there too, she is all white now, so naked…

wouter · December 15, 2009, 1:15am

This is his my 9 year old boy’s idea for a logo (Comander Cody shooting a dead be he found in the strawberry bin.)

Bud · December 15, 2009, 2:30am

exactly. for me, it was a slippery, rubbery POS. ‘clear’ turned yellow almost immediately too
