New giant surfboard sucking up all the waves around Boston ...


11'6" x 25" x 3.75"
Single fin
EPS foam from a re-used source
Epoxy Lam, Resin-X hot & gloss
2 x 6oz, s-glass, top & bottom, nose and tail caps
It started out as a Frye-style cross-country board. It ended up a lot like the SurfTech Munoz I used to own (but without that Surftech rattle). I've surfed it once. It took off early, didn't sink and turned with surprising ease.
The composition is heavily influenced by Japanese stories and art about various kinds of Majin, especially ones imprisoned in mountain faces. On the first afternoon out, my friend John took a few pictures. More pictures coming soon ...
Surf Report: Dissapointing short period windswell, onshore everywhere the swell is showing. Hopefully some NW for tomorrow AM. I need to get this one back in the water.

Latest Recycled Stubb ...


Lots of effort required to get usable foam out of this one. It once was 2/3 of a classic log (try to guess what kind). Now it's a 5.5', wide, square, very flat, single. The lam is RR epoxy, the hot & gloss coats are Resin-X. The art is india ink & acryclic, in multiple layers. This is my first Resin-X board, so far really good (Matt, of Resin-X, has been very generous with his advice). Soon to be polished ...
