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.

4'11" for Lakey

Lakey Peterson's shaped this with me, her new little shred sled!

4'11" x 22" x 2 5'8"

After we made her Gullet, she wanted to learn to shape a little bit so we made this together the next day, I took care of the heavy planer work and she was in charge of the block sanding and screening...stoked on the finished product :)

We decided to add a crack in the tail to free it up a little bit, she's an insane surfer and I didn't want the board to be too sticky for her; also took my normal Velosim fin template, nicked the back off of it and a little leading edge also, then cut the base away...this thing oughtta be pretty fun for her!

Belly to triplane bottom that exits off the outer edges of the fins, with a heavy single concave through the middle...epic.

4'11 Default with Lakey

My default name for anything that is abnormal is the nug.  or super nug.  or shred sled....here is NSSA wonderchild/twice champ and new PC friend, Lakey Peterson, shaping a 4'11 that resembled a bar of soap; 

We shaped a 5'3 gullet together on Sunday, and she came back for more on monday!

ambitious, and doesn't seem to mind foam dust:

Velosim for the most part, save for the fishy kinda tail.

She's got a future in shaping if she wants it, check out the autograph...super pro:

And did I mention she's only 15?  and shreds...like...seriously shreds...

5 hulls down on a foam-filled monday.

PY Likes 'em Bright

PY's second board from me (first is a 6'0 gull: check it!), this mean-green-Velosim-machine is 5'5 x 23 x 3, seemingly standard sim style dimensions, but i'd hate to call anything about these 'standard'!

Glass-on baltic birch keels, hand foiled at the same shop it was shaped and glassed at.....mine :)

5'6 VeloSim

White pigment with hand foiled Red Oak glassons.
