New build

LOL - they're like bass - nondirectional.

Uh, not trying to be a know-it-all but, nondirectional? They look pretty directional to me. They wrong direction that is.

Actually, some bass waves would be cool.

Nick, it's just paint/art - James wanted them on the tail, I don't think there is a right and wrong direction was my point...but then again he's 17!

[LovinPowell]

Surfdad: that looks awesome, I wish I were an accountant like you.

[Surfdad]

LP you are an accountant, like me! You just need to unleash your "inner shaper".

I know, I need to free myself from bondage.

[Surfdad]

LOLOLOLOL! Throw off the shackles that bind and prevent you from shaping and making a stinky mess, brother! I need to be the Reverend of the First Tabernacle Church of EPS and Epoxy.

May I get an Amen!

[LovinPowell]

Just givin' ya a hard time man.


There's snow in them thar hills. How do you think that board will do in the snow?

[Surfdad]

Ready for the first fades

[KonaKing]

Looking good but reminds me of the days when I painted helicopters, scary

Anyways thinking of triing a vacum bag board. Did you build your own pump or buy one?

Thanks SD

[Surfdad]

Hey Bob,

Did you paint Helicopters in the armed forces or as a civilian? I had a client that was a chopper pilot in the reserves and he used to always say that an engine failure in one of them would ruin your day.

I purchased my setup from ACP, it's equipped with a vacuum switch and catch can. Theoretically you can build one from an old refrigerator compressor, or a vacuum cleaner. I like the ability to adjust the HG from 8 inches up to 20 depending upon what I am working on.

It opens up a LOT of fabrication variables, like the composite sandwich, but also like the folks at Coil Surfboards, where they are using 2 to 3 times the fiberglass as an old polyu/polye board, but very little resin and they get these really "twangy" boards .

[KonaKing]

As a civilian Rocky Mt Helicopters. I like the idea of building one It must be the tinkerer in me. I really want to do a compsand this off season.

[Surfdad]

The compsand construction is great fun. It opens so much in terms of construction options...I'm not convinced that any of the boards are better, but it sure gets you thinking!
