You've gotta remember Hagges, we're not taking it that seriously

Looks sleeker in the flesh, that angle doesn't do it justice, didn't want my ugly head in the photo, to hold it up properly

What width and volume would you say it is? I wish my nosejob looked as nice as yours does

47cm wide, volume? my geuss, coz it has some thickness is about 70Litres?

Nice looking board Decrep, it looks pretty similar in shape to my AB+ 58. Its 240 x 58 and about 90 ltrs.
Well done.
Years ago I tried to shape a speed board. I got as far as cutting the foam to approx outline. I took it to a board shaper and I ended up with a tiny needle as what I had done was so crap the shaper had to take off so much foam and thats all I ended up with.

Thanks ka43, this is about 240 long but only 47 wide, so it's a bit narrower than yours. I've put up 3 more photos, viewed straight on instead of from the back, gives a better idea of plan shape.

After the info on the "bottom finish" thread yesterday, I decided to polish the last meter or so. Trouble is that shows up all the wobbles.
In the photo it looks OK, but when you move the board around the distortion becomes evident.
Oh well if we get to the stage where we're chasing the last half knot for a PB. It's another fill and sand job.

Are you after a job????

Probably wont do that, we can't afford to pay!!!!

the board looks great guys. always fun to sail something you did yourself.

hehe fitz. what do ya mean taking it too seriously. you know the freewave sail had to go be upgraded to get more speed. i think the fact that we both sailed together for over 30 km with totally different boards, fins, stances and techniques but on the same sails and ended up only 0.5 knots appart is saying something.

sounds like mineral wants to be a rig monkey.

Tomorrow, tomorrow tomorrow!!!!!!
And not with a 6.6!!!!!!!
I was all over the place on my last couple of runs with it.

You're welcome Elmo, still don't know how you managed to get first go on it!!!
It's all very well being before Hardy, but before me!!!! I must be slipping.

27.something Think that was on the second run, downwind on the way out.
