Well i have finally got around to finishing my board off. its 8'8 x29 1/2 x 3 3/4 , weighted in at 7.3kg with fins and grip , LAYUP - 6+4oz +patch over fins on bottom , 2x6oz and patch 4 on the top , with full rail wraps on a VH grade EPS. i have only had one ride in a very average 2ft slop with a 8kn NE , it was quite stable (iam 70kg ) slighlty better than 9,3 naish, it paddled quite well and planed early onto a wave once on the moove, it felt light to turn and ride but as i said didnt have much of a wave to cut loose on. All in all a bit of work but alot of satisfaction at the end .

Nice piece of work Brad.

WOW I am that INTIMIDATED I will never surf Wombi again !! But seriously looks Great. Cannot wait to see if it will hold my massive 82kgs.

Hey Brad , what a top job, really like the plan shape that grip probably took longer than the boardwell done

hey board looks good really nice planshape
also quick question how did you put the handle in the deck? As im about to shape my own board and glassing it shortly after.
another one what side fins did you put in ?

nice board. one thing, i don't reckon you will be using that pad way up the front there on these type of boards
cheers

very nice looking board - your side-bites look they have extreme toe-in, hope it's going to go! If board is too loose and lacks drive you might want to straighten them out a bit - will speed up board as well

Looks like a fun board, but I have to agree with Peter. Those fins looks like they angle in heaps or is it just the pic

short board side fins normally run about 1.5 iches of the nose on eitherside , i imagian sups would be about the same .
brad looks like you put some effect into this board im sure it will go good ; hey did you buy your glass and stuff of fgi or shapers .com hey im thinking of doing one 6oz bottom with patches for fins and 2 times 6oz deck ?

Sick looking board BL looks fast and loose, love the tail interesting to see the widest part forward of centre.

Rob

Yeah great looking grip , I like the bit in the handle. 3-3/4 thick not for us fatties the board should rock nice high performance design.
