Take two...

Been having some fun with this as well...
Feels good as a twin / trailer...Goes better in some pushier waves...
Lent it to a mate. he liked it as well.
When I get back to shaping I will explore the asymmetrical thing some more...


Finished!...

Zeke's co production / JellyBean plus / mini mini mallish board.
5'7" x 20 1/2 x 2.55...5 Fin setup...
Tried it as a quad. Feels nice. But Thruster might be the go.
Watch this space...



This one works!...

Goes great.
5'10" x 19 1/2(+)" x 2 1/2"... Not foiled as much as a regular shorty and is feeling better for it. Deepish single with double in. No vee and flattish deck.
Nice and loose and carvy...
Pleased with this one.


This one doesn't...

Sadly, this one doesn't work.
Feels sticky / tracky and just surfed flat.
5'10" x 19 1/2" x 2.45.
Down rails. VERY small radius bottom edge and HARD edge...
Deep concave.
Nup.

Oh well...

Ummm...oops...

I have been in the water a sum total of 4 times since the start of July. Yup.
Been chasing the opportunity to hit the snow whenever possible and have got in 12 days so far.
Absolutely hooked. Hardcore.
The aussie season is about to end and so is the shaping for a while too.
We are moving and I am rushing out the last five boards before we go.
Will post about each shortly but will put up some pics of what's been keeping me occupied...

Quick update...

Hmmmm...
May have gone a little low on the volume on the DT inspired blunty.
Paddles very good for a 5'6'' but...
Feels a little, I don't know, sluggish perhaps off the mark?
It was a high tide session so maybe give it another go when the waves have some shape...
Not liking the PC fins at all. Can't feel them. Will try the successful combo off the diamond tail old faithful.
Anyways...

Finally!!!


Don't get anywhere near the time I would like or need to finish the boards I am working on...
With the snow season upon us (and not a bad one at that!) Its also harder to throw several hours at the shed.
Anyway, the DT inspired board is done and ready to try but I have a crippling lurgy and just don't have the energy...

Very happy with the sand job. And a full five fin FCS install.
Note: FCS are pretty fiddly and I am not surprised that they occassionally fail. Hopefully I won't be talking about any of that!

Check out the nubster!!

Going to do a non blunt nose version with a double diamond tail of this same board too.

I have to make some boards for mates as well...
God knows when I will find time for that!
