Snap back!

Just a little project I've been working on for about a week. My bro Gray snapped this bad boy about a year ago. He was gonna throw it away and asked if I wanted it to do anything with. Since my buddy Matt might com into town, and needs a shred sled, I thought if I bring it back, that maybe he'll be able to use it. What do you guys think?  This thing was in two pieces last week!

Surfed and installed boxes.

Went surfing today and then started qork on the fin boxes. Surf today was super windy. The wind chill was pretty bad but the water was still easily in the 70°s. I wore a wetsuit and found it wasn't nessesary and also that I'm  out of shape. Surfing with  wetsuit on is some serious work. These pics are of the fin box install. Hope thet come out well. I've never done it before and i felt a little out of sorts doing it. These are pro boxes with a mackee 5 fin set up. Should work well, looking to get alot of built in drive.

Sand coat is on!

Don't know if you you can tell buy i put the sand coat on the bottom today. The sand coat is basiclly the fill coat. It fills in all the fiber patterns in the fiberglass and also makes all the patches that are over the finboxes and logos blend seamlessly.  It also has wax in it. The wax makes the resin sandable when dry. It also makes for a smooth comp sand feel,  just like all the boards at the surf shop.

More from the build.

Just got the logos on.  What do you guys think?  I did away with the G wreath. Stephen thought it was too much like a trophy. I figured i would just go hardcore LA skull style. Let me know what you think. Almost finished!

New project!

Hey everyone thanks for all the donations! The new surfboard project is going to be a 7'0" funboard super groveller!  Should be able to surf anything from ankle biters to head high! Super stoked, keep checking the blog for updates!
