Roundtail twinzer in progress...

Just can't stop...

After I finished the last 3 boards I decided I should take a break. So I cleaned up the garage and before I knew it the planer was out again and I was shaping the plug for the flexspoon I've been planning on making.....obviously i'm addicted.

Also I decided I want the option of running my simmons/velo board as a twin again, so got to work on making some keels....and got a little carried away

Turbercle single foil ply keels, will be fcs fit when complete. Curious to see if they make much difference.

The Bumblebee

Just finished this 8ft xps simmons for a mate. Turned out much better than I was expecting, xps is not easy to work with! Before final finishing my mate brought his 7 year old daughter round to handprint on the board and name it. She called it the Bumblebee for obvious reasons. Had its first outing yesterday in less than perfect waves and he is already raving about it. Its a good feeling to build a board for someone that they really enjoy.

First and last, for now...

5'9" x 19 3/4" x 2 3/4" diamond tail, flat bottom, 5 fin set up, NZ fabric inlay

6'4" x 22" x 2 1/2" hull, rolled to V, turquoise tint, 2+1 set up

8' x 22" x 3" Simmons, xps/epoxy, yellow tint with black resin work, old skool leash loop......nearly finished!

Ply keels, glassed and ready to go onto the Simmons.

More Shabby, Less Chic...

5'10" x 21" x 2 5/8" 70's inspired pintail single fin. Turquoise tint with grey/white sanded spray.

A.D.H.D

I finished this board late last year and have been surfing it almost exclusively since. It was originally set up as a twin, with Tomo style hockey still keels. With the keels it was crazy fast, loads of drive, really fun. Decided to change it to a single to see the difference........definately slower, but much smoother and generally nicer to surf. Might get bored of this in another 3 months and change the fin setup again!

Stand up and be counted...

Garage is rather full at the moment as i've got 4 boards on the go! From left to right; 5'1" xps flexspoon plug, 5'9" diamond tail, 6'4" hully egg, 8 'xps simmons. Outlines cut and ready for shaping. Spoon is for me and the other 3 are for people kind (brave!) enough to ask me to shape them a board....busy busy!
