Quiver...

Not gonna shape the roundtail. Yet.
I got quite enthused seeing the fresh shapes sitting there waiting to get glassed and used...
That will be a reasonably comprehensive quiver. For me anyays.
Glassing will get underway today or tomorrow.

Ummm....

Maybe I'll quickly shape a hipster roundtail before glassing...

Just cause.

Well, I did promise my mate a board before his birthday.

y tres...

All shaped and ready to go...
Reasonably happy with the foil. Left a bit of foam in the nose area to help keep it out of the water.
Maybe could have given a little more nose rocker but the rest is sweet.
A lot of kick in the tail (2 1/4" plus) so should compensate(???)
It is quite short at 5'8" so shouldn't be an issue..We'll see.
thats a big ol' squash tail back there to.
I think it looks cool... Almost a little retro!!
Once these three are glassed, that's a full quiver to keep me happy for a while.
Yeah, right!

hang on a minute...

I have a couple of boards to glass...
But I really wanted to try this squash tailed 'Justin 3' so I am shaping it first then I will get into glassing all three. A little shorter, same bottom but no vee in the tail.
Oh, and a stack of repairs.
Squash tailed thruster.
There's something I didn't think I would look at for a while.

5'8" x 19 5/8" x 2 3/8" (ish). A little more volume again than Justin 1 and 2.
Fuller rails, flatter nose and a little more late kick in the tail.

Stale...

Toying with a new logo...

Dunno.

Just when you thought...

Surfing was getting stale and your interest was waning as a result....You have the kind of surf that renews your amp 10 fold...
Sunday morning, went for a drive over the other side, met with a few boys and paddled out into glassy head high wedges.
The crowd grew exponentially after sunrise but for some reason, we got our fair share.
Haven't surfed that loose in a long time.
Amped.
Must be time for another board.(smile)

new formula...

Surfblanks (who make the best blanks, full stop) have come out with a new formula.
A different cell structure that is stronger AND another 8% lighter.
Gonna shape up some small wave boards and see just how light these things are.
Sweet. (don't know about their choice of glue colour though...)

Overheating...

I really need to do some glassing...

Its too bloody hot. the shed thermometer was reading a little over 41 degrees celcius just after lunch...ummm. Nup.

Might have to do very early mornings or late nights...
