Nice pics - you definitely go the extra mile !

I was surprised to see you using Trojans as a measuring device - we used to use them for preventative measures

Looks perfect mate, very similar to my main SB. Only more of a pin tail, shorter & wider. I bet she'll go great

No shots of the fin box area...looks like she'd go great either 3 or 4 fins, whatcha goin with

He shapes them from scratch then gets the glassed by a pro. Good way to ensure a quality finish n reduce mess !

Am I in the Longboard Room, or The Shortboard Room!?

Nah, we love all boards in here don't we!

Nice work Tux!


PS - I think I mentioned to you that I know they guy who built your house. Long time family friend. Eddie, the concretor... He's pretty good on a dirt bike too! He moved over to Ocean Acres, for more room for the family.

It must be a great feeling making your own board then riding it.

It just has a 8 inch fin box in it bro...going to see how it goes with one of the 8 or 9 inch greenough style flex fins...the rails are pulled a long way down so hopefully it all works like it should
