Not in the same league as the previous boards, but finished this today.
10' 3" x 25 3/4 x 3 3/4
2 x 6oz deck x 1 x 6 oz bottom, epoxy resin, which is a first for me. A few blemishes but I am happy overall.
Need to cure it for a month apparently, which is not an issue as I am not surfing atm, but will be soon. :D
Good job man, bet that'll give ya a lot of joy when you & your board are cured ![]()
Beerdad - just like Rosie "that's a whole lot of Rosie"
Nice looking board, you will be the ripple king and getting all the waves
Fooking nice work right there bro!!
+1
And again!
How did you find the sanding of the epoxy?
Thanks for the approval gentlemen.
Ted, it sanded quite easily. Apparently the modern epoxy is different from that of old.
Of more concern were the few amine blush spots, but a bit of a sand and some metho allowed a patch on these.
Worse was the pimples in the finish coat. I finally tracked these down to particles in the hardener. Despite using one of the Mrs' stockings to filter, I still got pimples. Then I found she had given me a stocking with a hole in the toe. She needs to cut her toenails!
If the particles could be controlled, the finish coat has a far better gloss than I could ever polish into it.
Dazzler, thank you for christening Rosie. :D
To be honest it has a bit too much belly for my liking, and it weighs a ton. Only riding it will show if it catches waves as well as it's predecessor.
Well tell us about it mate![]()
Its 10' x 26" x 3 3/4" Shaped by Simon at DEEP.

Well after the third surf on mine I pretty happy with it I must say!
You certainly were hunting them down today mac and you had those hunting eyes working overtime.
Between Vanders hunting eyes and Lacey's favorite saying "you've got to want them" how could I go worry![]()
Had a call this afternoon board 3 is in the glassing bay![]()
Yes mac you were onto those micro waves on that big girl. I can see the attraction. Even the piglet caught waves.
Vanders.....well he is just another ball game![]()
Took a couple of snaps of another breezer's Hot Log ready to progress to the sanding stage.
Who's board is this ?
