Beaming


Beamer and I have been planning a board for him for a couple months now and after switching back and forth a few times on shape and general desires, I decided to have him come down for a weekend from the bay area and hang out while I built his board start to finish in the 24 hr window of time we both had to work with...

I shaped it in the evening (4'11" x 21" x 2 1/2" velosim), then woke up bright and early the next morning to meet him and Jason out at the boatyard; It was a solid task but not impossible; the board being full tint top and bottom with glass-on fins made the challenge even more tempting. A clear sanded board is no problem for that kind of time frame if you've got nothing else going on but this made me feel pretty accomplished by the end of the day, PLUS, we ate some dank pizza.

Being from the Bay Area and following your blog always wondering, "Would OB destroy that board?" I'd be interested to hear where this board is surfed and with what kind of results.
