green hornet

beside all the xmas dinners & parties i worked on new board and gave it a little colored touch. ready for sanding & gloss coat.


twin fin, 6'0'' x 20 7/8 x 2 7/8

almost finished

After bottom and top coat process has been finished the board looks almost ready for salty water. on the weekend i will work on the fin plug installation, final sanding & polishing.

sanding 001 & prep glassing 002

i finished the lamination process of my first board. the bottom lamination was not a big issue. but i screwed up with the top. it ended with many air bubbles and massive rework. anyway, i was told by someone that the bottom is much more important and the top will be covered with wax anyway :-) the board is now presanded and ready for hotcoating and final sanding. to be continued.

in the meantime i prepared the fibreglass for the second board (5'8'' x 22'' x 3''). lets hope the expierence out of the first lamination will create a better result.

fcs fusion II

this evening i installed the fusion fin plugs for the 'pocket rocket'. i'm quite happy with the result except the center fin. i don't know why but the router didn't do a good job there and slightly destroyed a part of the stinger.

now, everything is prepared for the first glass job. this is probably the most complex and difficult process when you build a board. let's keep the fingers crossed that this step will end successfully. 

fcs fusion

finally! after weeks of waiting the fusion fin template & router arrived safely in my shaperoom. the work can be continued this weekend.

single fin

i ordered a beautiful dolphin fin in the USA last week. thanks to the quick fedex service it already arrived today in switzerland.


this fin will be the inspiration for a retro single fin board (6'2'' x 21 1/8''). the template is already available. but i realised that i would need to have a bigger blank (6'5'' xtrafoam will be sufficent). the teccel blanks are slightly too short.
