Yesterday after a nice morning surf with mac, blair & asea, mac & I headed over to see Steve Del Rosso to watch the new 10' Clearwater come to life.

Before we got started though we made time for a little cruising around the carpark.

mac




Steve



Boards taking a rest.




Steve designing the board on the computer prior to shaping.




Blank ready to go into the shaper.




Out of the shaper it was time for the sanding & fine tuning the design.








Profiling the nose & tail










Mac begging Steve for all his little design secrets to take back to McT




Marking fin positions




Steve & Teena




Done & dusted & ready for glassing






A few arty shots.








Random fact the board volume equals 256 cans of beer.

So glassing & tinting will hopefully be next Tuesday so more pics to follow.

That board looks the ducks nuts - what you doing for colour?

Got a few colours in mind but I'm thinking of taking a chance & just letting Teena do her thing.

here's a bit of her work - ww1.iphoneogram.com/?sub1=8b093e94-6aba-11ea-9213-07f1c402edac

Wow, thanks for sharing. Those dimensions get me thinking about getting a summer board ready sooner, rather than later!

Can't wait to see it finished, I love a striped board, especially with green in it. Hope it goes great Vanders. Is that your beautiful Redline on ebay?

Thanks guys, yeah I decided at the last minute to go a little more subtle that originally planned but I like it. Teena is just a wiz at tinting, some of the other boards she's just done look amazing, I should have taken some pics of them.

Anyway I'm hoping to have it all finished & ready to go in a week or so.

I also have to say I can't speak highly enough of Steve & all the staff at Clearwater, they've been fantastic to deal with, nothing is too much trouble & the quality of product is spot on.

Spiro, yeah that's my redline on egay.
