Glassing the new ride

First time marko EPS foam/ epoxy build. Seems pretty easy just more expensive than polyester resin and polyurethane foam. The resin was about $50 more but the blank was about the same, maybe $10 more at the most. Also I don't recommend glassing in the garage in the winter. Can't control temperature well enough in there. I used Greenroom epoxy resin and that stuff is super easy to use just 2:1 epoxy to hardener. EPS marko foam is easy to plow also. Hope this thing works well. It may be hard to Craigslist it due to over head costs.

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.

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!
