I get to finish making a board for myself, just in time for the coming season too!

:party:

Here she is. 6ft7 x 19 x 2 1/2. Foils and rails to suit my weight and what i want the board to be able to do. Kept a little extra width in the tail.
Glass on fins as ive never done glass ons before and wanted to give them a go. Plus i had this bad ass set of honey combed fins that needed a home.
Spray job on the bottom of the board was traced on free hand.
First deck patch resin swirl too with a triple pin line.
Oh and its a clark foam blank.

:dj:

Sweet looking ride. If the 6-2 fish quad that you shape for me and bring down in April is even remotely as sweet looking as that I will be suuuuuuuuper stoked. :D
