Paul's new 7'4"

7'4" x 19' x 2/12" Twin concave vee with a slight nose vee. Mid boxed rails and a custom wipe-on design.

Small swallow tail and glass-0n fin with a stiff flex make this board a safer option than a full concave bottom.

Designed for mid sized waves in the Pacific and Indonesia.

This design is also available with a pintail and a variety of colours, patterns and fin systems.

Dont lick the surfboard

"The all day sucker" is this Micro Mal's inspiration.

Dimensions are 6'3" x 22 1/2" x 3", wide mal nose with a flow thru concave and a rounded pintail flyer with concave vee.

Single fin, twin fin, mal, thruster whatever flavour you choose it will be fun, fun, fun.

Andy knows, he bought the Austin Powers inspired "Yeah Baby" and is loving it.

You will too.

Balsa Gun

The balsa board has been finish coated and polished by master polisher Jun and is a now a pleasure to behold.

The abalone and cedar logo glows and the colour and grain of the balsa is revealed.

I'm happy with the result as I'm sure the new owner will be.

The final weight came in at around 17kg.

Well now it's back to the easy shaping of foam, although I am in the process of preparing to build another timber board of cedar and balsa in the Duke finless style of the 30's. 

More to come on that one.

New Painting finished

Over the last few weeks this piece has been sitting on the easel and every time I walk past it screams "finish me". Well now I have. A third piece in the Batik series.

Balsa Gun nearly completed

Balsa board timber tail block and the cedar and abalone shell logo have been added. 

The logo will be better appreciated once the board has been finished coated and polished.

It's been glassed and sanded and I should have it back from Jung the master polisher later this coming week, can't wait. 

As you can see by the pics the sanding is a dusty job but really brings the board back to the original shape.

Balsa Gun Blank Final Glue Up & Rough Shaping

The last section of the rails have been glued on and the blank is starting to look like a surfboard rather than a table top.

Apart from my trusty Makita planer of 30 years finally deciding it had enough, the rough shaping went as planned. The convex under the nose has been shaped along with a soft vee in the tail creating a nice high-low rail combination.

Some nice subtle grain and character marks are being revealed as the planer gets deeper into the timber. The final shaping will be next week and then a couple of finishing touches will be added. 

The weight is coming down and I will give it a final weigh-in before glassing.

S Turn

This painting is another in the series of "Lefts and Rights".

"S Turn" along with quite a few other paintings will be on exhibition at 

The Curve Friday 8th May 35 Currumbin Creek Rd. 6.30 til late.

Balsa Gun Blank Step 2

The centre section has been glued together and will be ready for the outer rail section to be added in the next stage.
