Josh Farberow brought by his new finless craft for Raphael and I to give the Timberline treatment to, he's been shaping and riding these a lot lately and wanted to see if we couldn't add some wood to it!

How Two: Three Parts
Bobby L's 6'9" (x 22" x 3") Dreadnought got a little fabric love...here's how to get down:
1) Draw some funk all over the place.
2) Mask off everything you don't want to be funky, use approx. 300 linnear yards of tape for this step. Then lay out your sheet of pizazz with gusto. After that, saturate then pull out the excess magic. Next, let it curate itself all over the place, don't hold it back, that will only impeded step three:
3) Use the skills of a veteran lion trainer who works part time at the laundromat to carefully slice up your one large mass of cool into smaller, visually enjoyable shapes:
4) There is no four. Who told you there would be a part four? Outrageous.

FTW!
My Japanese connection, Yahagi, owner of Surfer's Longboard Shop stopped by for a few days and caught some pretty fun early morning 'con with me...Steveo shot this one him!
Xan stopped by the shop for a bit, too...Herbie told him all about the new dogs in the boatyard, and about the hulls he and I shaped yesterday...

Murray's New Shoes
One of a Murray fin-set, hand foiled volan fins, 4a-ish template with a hacked off and swept back tip, and cutaway base. Nice and flexy!

5'80
Post #580...and it's a 5'8. Cool.
5'8 OG single/keel setup as usual with these puppies, very fun and versatile hull shape, good times in beachbreaks and more playful waves. Round template = round surfing.

Hey Look! (2 of 4)
Itsa Gullet, wow!
Mr.Jake's second board of two (see kneeboard below). A sublime, sea-monsterish green opaque over a 5'10 frame of foam. With the contours of a tri-plane along the length of the bottom and a gentle roll on the deck...Complimented with rails that will release when you put the power down on a cutback, as well as hold in high and tight in trim, and some tasty mini glassons, hand foiled by yours truly out of aircraft grade plywood.
Ya...That's whats up.
