Hi all - with all the talk of hand shaped boards lately I thought I would share with anyone interested some pics of my custom hand shaped surfboard. No - its not a sup ! but it is a real work of art and I am sure you will get an idea from the pictures just how much work these guys put into all their boards - whether it be longboards or sups.

She's not quite finished yet but getting just a little excited about her imminent arrival.

Mac - its not intended to get a bite. Its my new 8'0 x 22 x 3 1/8 MSJ Super.
These pics I got today are the first I have seen of it myself - didn't even know what colour it was till I saw these.

Very happy with what I see so far.

Tully is a very good mate and the best h/p longboard I have ever owned was a LB so I asked him to make that same board but in a size that I could throw in the car. Only drama was I really needed a ton of meat in it cos I am not the strongest paddler any more and I am a bit slower to my feet than I was a couple of years ago, and the board does have a ship load of rocker for bigger beachies - thus the 3 1/8 thickness. As for colour - he knows that I like red and yellow in boards and I just trust him to blow me away, and he always does.

Hmm not wrong with the rocker call,looking at your board and the others racked up there is some serious bending going on and it sounds like you've nailed it for what you want out of this board.

Keep the updates coming

Mate they always look heavily rockered on the racks too. For instance the board behind mine is a hand shaped Robert August WIR 9.6 and you know how flat those things are - but it does look to have heaps of rocker in the pic.
ASEA already has dibs on first ride on my newy - don't like his chances as he may have to fight tomayama for it (If I even share that is)

Nice board BB, love the colour mate

The pictures of her progress are sweet mate, look forward to hearing some feedback on how she goes. and some pics of you on her.
My opinion - don't share until you ding her

Simondo that reminds me of a couple of Al Byrne hawaiian guns that a mate of mine owns - his are triple stringer also and I think around 9ft - triple stringers look soooooo sexy.

Doggie and Shtarlet - I am not allowed to sell this board - period

Asea - my ding guru was checking out the astro today and he gave it huge raps - already offered me $1000 for it if I wanna sell.

Hey mac - just heard that the colourful board being glassed in the pics is in fact the subscribers prize for the next issue of pacific longboarder

I know I said I never buy or subscribe to mags but just trying to work out my odds of winning the board if I empty out the ashtray in my car and send all my five cent pieces off to pay for a subscription. I would even let you have a ride on it if I win it (before I sell it to asea for $2000)

Hey boys - hate to rub it in but we got to ride this little beauty today in Noosa. Bloody tomayama and scotty wouldn't give it up for me so I was relegated to one of tullys h/p mals, which I reckon I was killing it on (yeah right ) The surf was tiny but tomayama got some sweet noserides on it and was almost impressive to watch. Not too sure of the exact dimensions but it's a 9.1 and designed purely for noseriding.

Oh - I also picked up my 8.0 and am very very happy with the final product. It has soooo much volume and is going to be a very sweet ride. Will post some pics asap.

bb out.
