Surfing Waves

Drove up and scored me 3 blanks i have already sized em up and descided what i will make each.

a 6'6 shortie, a 6'1 shortie, and a 6'2 fish.

The fish Blank is biofoam. Pretty stoked even more stoked that i got em free

Will update as i progress

sounds wicked. you seem to be sorted for a while if you have those 3 to shape. you going to do one and then start another when thats finished? if so what ones coming first?

I figure i'll start off with the 6'6 mainly as i have a 6'8 and a 6'4 already so a 6'6 will come in handy. Then i will duplicate my buddies fish.

I will shape, airbrush, glass then repeat untill all three are done. Then who knows.

i'm especially interested in seeing some photos of the air brush paint application

I have no idea about what designs to do so if any one got some idea shoot em out. Im open to them

I think i will deffo do a paint swirl on one as the guy i got the blanks off of had a board with this phycodelic paint swirl that looked totally cool

sounds wicked. i haven't got a clue about spray jobs. have you started any yet? or when are you going to start?

i have just started drawing the template - after i have fineshed my tea im gonna cut it out

silly,
i can never make up my mind when it comes to selecting designs, so there is nothing for me to suggest to you. I am very interested in seeing the paint after different stages along with some notes about how you are doing.

I got the blanks free cause my friend took pitty on me and managed to raid the factory so to speak of what was lying around dissused

i have power planer, surform, block plain, enough sand paper to build a mountain and just about everything else.

Busy taking snaps as i go along. - drawing the template on without te use of shapers templates was a complete guit but i got it in the end. Have cut it out and trued the rails piccies coming soon.

Having a lot of fun doing it so far have not had a cussing fit as of yet im sure thats yet to come

Was too tired to take any pics but i have them up to the part where i cut the template and trued the rails.

I have allready put in the concaves done the rocker and almost finished the rails i should finish the board tomorrow Thus far im pretty stoked with how things are going but jeez i wish i had a disk sander pluss the foam as i suspected was gonna give me hell when i started plaining fortunatly i predicted that and gave myself some room for errors that were fixed in sanding . And then its on to phase two and thats the graphics.

Hope you like my makeshift rack

Will update as soon as i get a chance

Looking good so far!

Cool man. Keep up the good work.. looks like fun.

looks like a beauty! and your shop looks if possible, almost as bad as mine!

i should have taken pics of my board in that stage! ah well, next time

Just a quick update. All i really need to do now is a few touchups and finish the rails. Didint get as much done today as i wanted (work calls DOH!!) but im getting there .

More updates coming soon. Still not totally set on what the graphics will be but ill think more about that when the shaping is done

Sorry to be off-topic but you totally look like chicken joe from "surf's up".
