If you have wondered how an SIC Custom Hand Shaped Bullet is born...
All you need is foam, good templates, a Skill 100 planer, and lots of talent.
Here is Mark Raaphorst doing what he knows best.

Yeah looks the goods....Phil .as a pro...you ....just a question ..in the last 2 -3 years has gear got alot better than board of say 3 years ago
if yes is it the shape ,length ,or is it the concaves under Neath or all of the above .
are we getting faster ...and are the board s easier to use in such a short time ..just curious ..
Tardy .
Sound good Ive got a big liver .
thats a great record ..sick.fantastic record ..I'm not really up with the comp..ratings..
a lot of unridden waves here.
thanks.
must say I'm surprised phil. I would have though it would have been on a file , tinker with for you and cut out on a machine.
hand finished from there.
I never seen an unlimited totally hand shaped
Congrats Downwinder. You've gotta feel like an expectant Dad.. Betcha you're pacing the beach counting the days til Maui...
Nice of you to comment on the V1 as being all time.. I can't wait for mine. it goes to show how smart M.R. Is that he got the V1 figured out back around 2010 (correct me if I'm wrong) and its still one of the best all round downwind unlimited shapes.
Your new baby going to have your trademark camo paint scheme? Thought so..
Bloody hell 18ft.
I'm gunna get lost on that thing. Any chance of putting in dual steering for a goofy.
Ah, Phil, you might want to think of some other things to do on Maui.. The whole of Maliko Gulch is going to be reverted back to the ahupua'a land management system of the HawaiIan people.. so no more Maliko runs for Haole.. I guess you could sneak out of Ho'okipa between sets.. Good luck.
I'm getting a one way ticket next time .
Alllllooooha.
hope it blows its tits off for you .
It is maui .
STOKED!!!! Picking up my new 2016 SIC Bullet 17-4 on Thursday.. It's been a loooong wait. just in time for summer here in the Northern hemisphere which means flat glassy water until the winds of Fall in late Sept. No matter. The best things are worth waiting for.
I JOJ Just Of Da Jet at the SIC factory picking up my New SIC 18ft V3 Bullet, Stoked.

Mark Raaphorst the Gay c@#t put a love heart in his signature, hahaha.
I got Lesley from Big Mal at Currumbin to make me a custom 18ft board bag for the new SIC V3
I purchased me a cheap Vehicle GPS at K Mart in Kahului, Styling.
Interesting to see you went with the 'traditional' steering system and not the new one SIC are using Phil.
It's amazing what perfection comes out of a dodgy building like that, isn't it!
And the location is like something out of Deliverance...!
Looks like the wind is blowing in the right direction there Phil!
Looking at the deck, you must attach your leg rope forward, not aft? I do the same - so you don't step on it when moving back.
