Ménhullge-à-trois




Today I shaped a few blades...My back is sore, my creative juices have flowed, and I feel completely fulfilled.

Dimensions are 6'6" x 21" x 2 1/2"

Posers



Rogress


Jon's 8'+ stubby project, brownish-y tint done with Silmar 'eco' resin which I've switched to as opposed to the normal 249a that I was using previously.

I've been teaching Albers how to glass for the past few weeks as well and his squeegee handling is promising, he laminated the 6'10 pintail a few posts below...not too shabby, eh??

I've had a few questions on my glassing schedule lately, so here is my standard layup for the hulls:
6oz warp bottom w/fin patch, 6oz warp deck (nose to tail) w/8oz volan (center/knee patch), all done with the Eco resin, over Ice9 foam proves to be quite a nice weight and a killer balance in weight and flex.
Have a great day everybody!

SCRSHTSx2



Two 7' Hulls being put to good use at Malibu.

I have a shaping room stacked to the ceiling with blanks, and a glass shop with open racks...

I'm ready for a foam covered week before my head wound allows be back into the water.
New revelation in events from that incident; from what RT says, I went forwards, and the board went backwards, leading us to believe that it was a rock that my head found, and NOT my beloved 11'er.

Either way, there is much foam to be mowed this week, and a hefty amount of resin to bathe in shortly thereafter......

6'10 For The Women and The Waves Benefit


6'10 Pintail for the showing of the surf film The Women and The Waves at the Marjorie Luke Theater on thursday night (the 9th) at 7:00pm in SB.

Heal The Ocean is putting the benefit on, this board will be up for Raffle along with an Ashley Llody (Bing), and I believe a CI and a Matt Moore.

I heard I have to go up on stage to read the raffle ticket number for my board; that should be different...i love, love, LOVE. public speaking.

So anyways, be there and watch me mumble into a microphone, see a cool movie and maybe trade in a $5 raffle ticket for a new pintail!
