Well its probably more like a co*dom.

I was struggling to find a decent cover for my sweet potato so whilst been a little bit bored and hungover whilst watching the Quiky Pro the GF taught me to use the sewing machine (no laughing please) and here is the result......the colour combo in the second one is a little poor on reflection. I sd not try to be too creative whilst hungover!

I reckon they look good and not as boring as the usual cloth covers. Tell me you don't make your own clothes Ted.

I needed to have something that would help me tell the top from the bottom (hate it when people out my boards in the cover the wrong way up and I end up with wax on the bottom of them) - the GF suggested the K for Kev.

Thanks for the comments fellas - next time I hope to get hold of some better colours to play with.

I would make ya one but I need some more practise first. Some of my seams are definitely amateur!!!!

This chick makes some pretty cool stuff - she takes orders and is based in Manly.

Hey, I had to correct an uncalled for red thumb on a post above... I think there is some type of impostor infiltrating our Longboard Bar!

Some cross pollination !!

Awesome work Ted! / Kev.
The flowery one is really growing on me actually. That 2nd flower design would be super cool for an old school log, or hull single, etc...

Thanks for the shameless grandstanding there Simon. I like the flower one as well - but maybe the dots were too much. I would like to make one for the log but will wait and see how the other two perform first.

Weiry has me in Stitches after his post in the other room. He is one funny man.

Standing by Chrispy - looking forward to seeing your creations. If your haircut and wit is anything to go by I am sure they will make for great viewing

They are unreal Chrispy.....Did you used to live in Tassie or Vic? I would imagine that they are more suited to the colder climates than the Queensland one. Nice effort. The deck looks good as well.

I love the SP Daneli - wicked board - never had so much fun before on a surfboard - its an absolute joy to ride. Most of my mates who have had a crack on it want one now as well - after initially laughing at it when the first saw it. I gave up trying to find a cover - realised that it was going to cost me a small fortune to get one made so I youtubed how to make them and got some help from the GF!
