Spoon Worky Spoon Worky Worky

Fin base-tuneage.

Plenty of this goin' on...

Tuning the flex a tad, just ahead of the fin is a soft area known to create a hinge kinda effect, this idea is to stiffen that particular area with different glass layups and get the hinge to turn into a working part in the gradual flex towards the tip of the tail.

1/2" thick fin glassed on with some hefty layering.

I've waited 4 years to build this board for myself

Continued work from yesterday.

Came up on a 1/2" thick fin panel at the True Ames warehouse, Chuck let me take it off his hands for my kneelo fin...so I got to grinding this afternoon for a bit...the panel is a friggin BEAST compared to a normal one!

The foil is pushed up towards the leading edge quite a bit more than a 'normal' fin, the flex is more of a downward sweep from the center than a wagging tip like most flex fins...if that makes any sense.

More to come.

A Divinely Strange Refrain

Lady on the water, make me rich or make me poor; 

Lay your flowers at my door.

Share my bread and share my drink; pay no mind what others think.

Place your thumb upon my tongue; weave a song no one has sung.

My lady on the water, whip this wind into a flame; with your grapes and bottled rain, make your wine of my worship a divinely strange refrain.

.5' to fit.

De-Tails

Two finished up this morning, 5' kneelo for Alexandra, 7' Hullibut for Chris...I attempted to get some shots that show a bit more detail in the foil then normal.  

Hope it gives a bit more insight into what the crap is going on with these things.

The Office

Another day at the office goes by...a cool little kneeboard is finishing up tomorrow along with a new hullibut for Chris; next week is a 5'6 nugget, 7' hullibut for Nick and Josh's Mimmons...it's getting pretty interesting!

Josh and I met up at shelter surf shop to chat about a project for him...i find it hard to vocalize details without some kind of visual aide...so we started drawing:

One thing leads to another...
