Wow thats great. Awesome work. Be careful with er near the rocks!

Impressive. It will almost be a shame to use it.

That’s a great looking project. Did you wing it, find plans somewhere, or have you built other surfboards and already knew what you were doing. That’s one of the projects on my long-term want-to-do list.
Great looking overhead rider!

Wow! That is the surfboard equivalent of a “show car”.

Very cool. Have you made these before?

Flashback: In middle school wood shop I made two skimboards. Nothing like this though.

Great work.

Cowabunga Dude…great board. Now we need pictures of you riding the waves on your board.

Amazing… I always wondered how those are made. Where did you get you inspiration for building it? Any other builders that showed you what products to use?

That is just too nice to ride. That is still considered a ‘long board’

I had a 9’2” Wardy. I still have my skim board and tried it again last year and completely embarassed myself.

Beautiful, beautiful. But still too nice to ride.

That is one awesome board, Dude! How many hours did you have to put into it? Looks like some very meticulous work involved.

JCS…that is da kine…. I’m planning on attempting it myself some day. I’m going to build a small yacht though for a standup paddleboard…12’-0” x 33” x5”. Is that a vent plug I see on the nose? I know you need one on a wood board. I was looking at building a kit from the guys at Grain. http://www.grainsurfboards.com/ but may just wing it myself given your inspiration. Any tips on construction?....how about a blog on the whole process…..:)

I’m just starting a SUP paddle for my brother similar to a Whiskey Jacks….(I hope).
