What a nice board Ben, very beautiful... is your Dad a shaper ? Is this board laminated with epoxy ? Would you mind to say what was the cost ?
Congratulations, if you lived in Brazil I would order one like this for you guys...

Hey DJ, yer had a go of it today and it surfs pretty good.

Hey Ivanash, Nah my Dad's not a shaper first board we have ever shaped, Yer its a exopy board and it cost us a bit of time out of the surf but well worth it.

Yer WM the deck does have abit of a dome shape to it to keep volume in the board but have finer rails.

Yer GR and Brooko yer gotta have some volume somewhere, its shaped with inspiration off what dad rides out of the surf.

No need for jealously there SECARTERMUSS

Jacko are u spewing u didnt get to have a go, instead u were working i heard.


Anywayz heres a few pics of what we started off with.

In the first image the foam on the right is what we started with, and on the left is once we did a rough cut out of the rocker.

In the second image the foam on the left is what we started with, and on the right is once we did a rough cut out of the rocker.




P.S Will be starting to shape a 9'0 shortly.

Really nice looking board Bendover. It would be really cool to use a board you made your self. Good luck with it.

Hey Chris,
The board looks really good .
Nice profile on the rails and a decent amount of rocker.
Should surf good!!
Just hope you don't break any more paddles.
Well done boys.
See you in the water.

nice shaping a board with the old man

keep up the good work guys

shaping your own quiver sounds so good

get it sussed then shape up a real short stick 8' and under

something like the gong 7'7 board short and fat

ben

dont know about the tail on that board on the links it looks a little like the 70's on bad acid

just watched a dude on a video cranking some tight turns on a small sup very nice

my mate that showed me it recons he going to get a board under 8'

dont know if my 10 pies a day diet will be supported on a board that small

waiting for him to get one so i can try it out

might have to cut back to 6 pies a day
