Had to laugh this afternoon
Got the new nimbus out putting the fins in , the young fellow is sitting there watching and says dad when you get too old for surfing can I have that board . I say yep mate , so when do you reckon that will be
He comes back oh maybe next week
Sh.t I'm not that old yet
Trout fishing went well SP , caught enough for a few good meals even caught a couple of giant freshwater lobsters which we threw straight back in due to the $10000 fine for catching them .
nice to be back home to a nice warm shower and my own bed
Was planning on getting out tomorrow depending on how much swell comes through .Looked pretty flat this afternoon
Took the Nimbus out for it's 1 st run this afternoon .very very happy with it .in pretty messy 3-4 foot beach break caught every wave I went for and rode every wave through to the beach .
Looks great with the timber fins in .
Great thread! A few of us have been building some boards lately and its great to see some tricks of the trade to make it easier. Love the resin work, Its my favourite part of the whole build.........I hate the sanding!
No sweat Ronnie , I saw that pile of blanks in the last batch of pics - realised you had a christload of work mate .... looking forward to seeing the new girl though!
Cheers from da Pup
I want to see what Pup has come up with
Oh only pic's of the board mid rack with red strip and what is it
just picked up pups...too windy to take photos outside so I grabbed a few shots inside before "she who must be obeyed" gets home...will get some more exotic shots when weather improves...colour reproduction is pretty good inside though....thanks for your patience Pup...you have been a pleasure to work with.
