australia!

in 2 weeks we'll be off to australlia and spend almost the whole march down under. quiver selection has been pretty easy as we have to pack light. i think the 6'6 fatum will be a solid choice for the trip along nsw coast. keep u posted with some pictures.

another one finished

i recently finished this beauty:







dimensions:
6'1'' x 20 1/2'' x 2 3/4''

lamination:
1x 6oz bottom, 2x 6oz top lamination (cutlap)

resin:
epoxy (sicomin)

sanding:
up to 400grid by machine & 600grid (wet-)sanding by hand

polish:
machine polish with 'rhino polish'

fins:
fcs system, thruster setup


by far the best sanding results i ever achieved but still a long way to go to compete with a board from a surfshop. however, very happy with the progress as well as the resin tint tail.

will be for sale as of now! in case you haven't got your xmas present :-)

lamination done

i happy with the result of my lamination job so far. the green resin tint tail turned out pretty well. hot coat, leash & fin plug installation to come. stay tuned!

resin tint

the bottom lamination of the new 6'1 board was done earlier this week. i worked with a green resin tint for the tail area.

new board in progress

some progress to be reported out of the shaping bay. the outline of my new 6'2 retro board was already finished last week. tonight i was working on the bottom, top and rail shape. towards the nose i worked in a concave shape while i kept the middle flat to allow the board to paddle easily.

happy client = happy shaper

always a pleasure to receive positive feedback from clients. toni sent me these pictures from spain and seems to be stoked :) thanks for sharing and keep on riding!

supplies arrived

it felt ike xmas yesterday! while i was at work the truck with new supplies from france arrived and restocked the shaping bay.

xtra foam blanks (6'5'' & 6'11'')

new sanding pad, rhino grip sanding paper & polish


fcs fins, plugs & single fin boxes


what's next? I am torn between a 6' roundtail retro surfbaord or a slighly smaller but wider nugget shape. I also want to work again with a resin tint finish to bring some color into the boards. i'll keep you posted about my choice and progress.
