So… if you hypotheticaly did an epoxy lamination using three different colors, and it turned out really ugly, then what would you do? (a) Surf it and flip-off anyone who lifted an eyebrow at it, (b) paint over it to hide the uglyness, (c) add a layer of raw cork, or (d) other.
What happened? Did you use colors that weren’t complimentary colors? As a artist certain colors when mixed will turn muddy brown. Tell me what happened first?
surf it and make another.
Pictures!
I am not asking for anyone to critique my color work. I am just asking about what you would do if you built a perfectly functional surfboard that was a little ugly on one side. Would you cover it up or not? If so, how would you do the cover-up?
If you really want to see this board then come to Big Sur in the fall and check it out for yourself.
Here is what it looks like from the top. I will leave the image of the bottom up to your imagination.
I am currently leaning toward this option. This is actually not my first ugly color mixing job. An artist I am not. I think I will stick to a single color per side in the future.
Surf it and forget it… don’t worry too much! Art these days makes zero sense anyways…
That board looks good!
methinks the chef has been cookin in the kitchen too long.
time to start the next one.
give that one away at the trade- off, someone will love it
Next time you will know not to mess with epoxy like poly…it just won’t do it.
Show us your bottom…show us your bottom!!!
SHOW US YOUR BOTTOM!!!
The BOTTOM
Not that bad. Put a pinline on and ride it. Have fun. Build more boards.
The board is bitchin’
let me be the one to say
tthey ain’t no ugly ccolors
just skewed judgements of color.
all recently bbirthed are startling to aapprehend
from humans to surfboard products of our mental loins.
wash off the gunk and love it like you were meant to.

minstral roots give us wwisdom for daily life.
so does Bo Diddley.
No. Believe me when I tell you that it is really really ugly. A mother couldn’t even love this face.
I am actually looking forward to riding it. It looks like a fun shape.
BTW Mr. Cleanlines: I really enjoyed watching your glassing DVD a few years ago. I learned a lot from it.
Looks good from the top. Only the fish see the bottom anyway.
Tell em it’s a visual shark repellant
Put a leash on it…shave it’s ass and walk it backwards…no one will ever know.
Ride it with a double bag over your head…just in case one falls off
SHOW US THE BOTTOM!!!
You call that ugly? I can show you a pic of an old Harbour I did a rehab on a few years ago. That was real ugly. I did it on purpose though. Mostly to make people write me off in the water because of what I was riding. “Old, ugly POS. He won’t get any waves”
SURPRISE!!! I have pics of it somewhere. I’ll try to dig them up. Oh, and I put a swallowtail on it just so people would ask me if it was a “fish” and I could laugh in their faces.
Fine… Here is the bottom. Enjoy your feelings of schadenfreude.
Yikes - it’s not only ugly it’s downright sinister - that board is evil!
haha just kidding it looks like it’s too cool to worry about impressing anyone
I like it
call it the orca and surf it.
not as bad as in your head Swied.
