Transitionhull

Today's special is something I've been interested in doing and I guess have been doing a lot of in the past little while...I really like transition era boards, or maybe I should say I really like what they were getting at.

The curves looked so right most of the time, and the ideas were all over the place and accentuated to the highest degree sometimes so I've always wanted to make something reeeeeally similar but add on some of the more modern knowledge and style thats in play in today's boards.

This one is an 8'6 derived from about 12 different templates of mine, with a low and pretty flat rocker and a pulled back wide-point compared to my other boards.  Bellied out but not outrageously so, and an overall thinner foil than most trans-style boards (you know what I'm talking about...).  What came out is really cool to me, a pretty solid vee off the tail, and it took all of my not to foil that sucker out, but I didn't!

If you want some boards to reference, take a look at the first half of the Innermost Limits of Pure Fun for my inspiration, those guys are enjoying themselves too much.............

hulling on a weekday afternoon...aw shoots!

BalsaSalsa

I previously mentioned a 9'6 chambered balsa wood d.Bowls...

here it is :)

9'6" x 23 x 3 1/8" and weighs in around 35 lbs...outrageous glide potential is held within.

Unchambered (I do the chambering after it's rough shaped) balsa blanks resemble...well...a big block of wood, about 1/4" of rocker nose and tail, and a dead flat deck.  Meaning that fully hand-shaped balsa boards from unchambered blanks are truly special and to me, works of art.  I'm proud to have finished my first...

it IS up for grabs, if you were wondering.

and it got the same stamp that I always put in my boards, but this time hammered in, instead of pushed by thumb.......ha!

Glass Ruv

Some r&d with the wee video cam, my 7'1 hull, one of Jonny's tubercle fins and Connor yesterday after working on the balsa d.Bowls all morning...

 

there's something seriously amazing about building and riding surfboards....and sheet glass mini-tubes with one other person out.

Sign

minor hosting troubles with the new site...keep yer pants on, i apologize!

maybe this will help?

got some super duper fun waves yesterday with some good friends, then cruised back north and surfed a spot that RARELY breaks and had some really fun little knee high zippers with some backwash and a dead seal on the beach, reminding us of the name of the spot and the warning that is in effect for swimmers/surfers right now...haha....hm............

E. Humel's 7'4" (x 22 3/4" x 2 3/4") Vampire, requested with uber foiled rails...been a little while since I've gotten that request so I was chompin' at the bit to finish this one!

I'm so happy with it, the blood redish color that Connor and I did on 'er came out beautifully, this board has it goin' ON!  I'm all fired up to make myself a new one now...damn :)
