The guy that I made this “stubby” for had the silver surfer printed on a 7’00" long sheet of “unwoven” (I don’t know how you call that). I laminated that on the blank. Bottom is tinted.
Planning to finish tomorrow with pinlines and gloss. (Right now, it’s sanded, I’m gonna install the fin-box tonight… maybe.)
Tres belle!
Is this a solid basla or composite?
Silverback, it’s a very classical PU/PE. The bottom is peach-tinted and maybe the flash made it look like balsa, but it’s not. MERCI for the kind comment!
Ahhh… je suis tres unobservant, il ya un stringer!
Nice board nonetheless
polyester is bitchin !
polyurethane is a dream!

Ben, dimensions are: 6’8" x 22 1/4" x 3".
Not quite a stubbie. Round nose, wide diamond-tail, flat bottom with V in the tail, rounded/down rails with a tucked-under edge, single + 2 set-up.
good stuff…thanks Bill!!
