    I’m not sure I understand this contest.

    Can the laminate be of anything surf related, or does it have to be “Swaylocks”? Is it a logo for Swaylocks? I guess I’m asking if the logo has to have the word Swaylocks in it.

    Sounds fun.

    My thought was that it could be anything that contains the word Swaylock’s in it.

    There’s some good stuff coming in!!! Better get moving!!

    Many of the entries are great. Good idea to hold the contest and most fair to allow the votes to decide. The only downside I can see is that the winning artwork may not exemplify the full spectrum of shaping as represented by the entire gang who participate here. For example, the current vote leader is the oval with the skill 100 planer flanked by two dual-finned shortboards. For the many who shape longboards, this does not suggest the folks at Swaylocks shape such boards. Further, most of the shapers I know who do shape shortboards either don’t use the heavy skill 100 or they modify/shorten it unlike the skil depicted. I guess a flip-side argument to this could state the skil planer represents the “old school” and the shortboards represent the “new school”.

    Probably too late, but if this particular laminate wins, the powers that be could consider keeping the currently depicted shortboard on one side as is and a longboard on the other side to replace the other shorty. OR… if this one wins, hold a second vote to either accept or reject such a modification to the winner. Just further food for thought to help include all. I realize you gotta stop somewhere, but a final tweek here or there to something we all will “live with” may be important.

    Richard,

    I think you are mis-reading the standings. The standings are listed on the left. The submission with the highest number is the current leader. Here’s the current leader:

    Just came in for lunch and received your message. I stand corrected. The current leader happens to be my favorite entry. Unless you are an old school door-hanger / carpenter, there are few things more recognizable or identifiable to surfboard shaping than the tool of tradition (Skil 100). Thanks for the reply.

    Hey Richard,

    That’s why mine has no tools in it, just someone offering a helping hand to someone who asks.

    Are we allowed to print any of these logos of to glass into are board? or is sending a SASE the only acceptable method of getting them?

    Cheers

    Sorry the sizes are really small – but you should be able to do something with them.
