How many hours did that take kitey from start to finish?

by **northswell** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 10:09 am

Sweet looking board

Have you posted dimensions?

by **kitesurfer** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 10:13 am

6ft3 x 19.75 x 2.5. Single to double concave with full rails for extra volume but quite hard along the board to compensate for the boxeyness of the rails. Also despite the look in the photos which is aftected by the paint contours on the deck the wide point of the board is quite far forward.

Including time spent faffing and drinking hobgoblin about 20, without faffing about 12.

/figures out costs

I must be hard for a shaper to make a decent living then?

Or have I done my maths completely wrong?

by **kitesurfer** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 10:54 am

Yes and no depends how you've done your maths really.

by **drowningbitbybit** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 11:08 am

Eight hours faffing and hobgoblining? See, I was right to nag :roll:

Ooh, a couple of hours closer to Lift Off

I think the photos say it all.

Surf was good waist to chest high and offshore. Preliminary reports suuggest that the board does stuff it wasn't even designed to do like surf saunton!!!
But i'll leave it upto matt to tellyou all about his new board, when he gets back as he's surfing at this very moment.
Other noticable achievments of the day were Sar's and my best buddy both catching and standing on their first clean waves from outback which on both occasions resluted in much

:woot:

Myself i had a modest surf, racking up my highest wave count todate, and linking my top and bottom turns and managing some off the lips.
We left the beach with a general feeling of...
STOKED

Oh and just in case your feeling a little bit left out paul, i managed to find time in amongst the drinking and surfing of the weekend to sneak in a bit of hotcoat action on your board for you!!!

WOW ahhh man that's the best thing to see on a monday morning, still getting over my Hobgoblin / Guinness hangover.

DBBB your board looks amazing, glad everyone had a awesome session :woot:

Managed to get a bit of a surf in too, and realised that my BIC (I love it to bits) but it's like a tank and weighs a ton! I can't wait to get my board!!!!

by **libby** » Mon Mar 26, 2007 8:19 am

I cant even describe my jealousy!!!!! Its too much!

Not only at the boards (which look AMAZING) but also at Sar and Rach catching their first green waves. I've done it once or twice but not in the UK and right now i'm in northumberland and my boards in Norwich :cry:
