Howdy all
long time since i have posted so i thought this would be a good topic
i am having a new board made up by Bob, about 90% finished and at the moment measures 12'2" x 25 x 3 1/4
went for 2 x 1/2 inch cedar stringers and will glass with 2 layers of 8 ounce volan top and bottom. Will do the Champagne volan job which is just straight volan with a little bit of brown mixed in. Going to have a Red old school gel coat comp stripe done couple of feet up from the tail on a angle. going for a Red glass in D fin also.
anyhow here are some shots of the work so far.
Whoa!! That is a beast! 
I have a 10'2" almost complete but that makes it look like it needs a feed.
M8 love the wide stringer look. That is going to be gold!
You need a marina not a board rack....
That is awesome mate. Keep the photos coming..
I hope Billy Mclean's got a set of roller skates to glass that sucker 
Nice looking stick Big Fella
No way. So jealous, maybe next time I see you, you can swap onto my tiny tiny sub 10 foot board 
Great looking stick BS. The classing will be fun to watch - probably need a few diff mixes going. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Just out of interest- is this the biggest Board Bob hadsfe this century ?
Wow mate 
you get the perspective of dimension with Bobby Baby standing there next to her ... hope the Van is big enough

haha no i think the biggest board Bob ever made was a 16fter that i think was like a wind sail blank or something. It is sitting in Hogs Breath cafe in Byron apparently although i havnt seen it

fin box or glassed in spazz
would a fin box be pointless on a 12.2. 
ahha all good brother. Going to go for a glass in this time. Big D. close to the tail. I find you need a big fin on big boards because when you go forward there is so much tail lift the back can start going crazy!
i like big fins too because 130kgs with a size 18 foot turning them isnt that hard at all i dont think
Wow that other board is huge ! Love to see some footage of it being Surfed. Could probably have 2 or 3 on it
Awesome thanks for sharing. Dig the photos. Great to Have B&B working on your board and having the images with it. Priceless. I plan tpo go ovver for the experience one day before its no longer an option.

Ppfff. I proned surfed my 14 ft er at snapper 2 years ago.
Ps does look nice
14'ter as in a 666
I keep coming back and looking at this thing. Just amazing. I imagine it would just cruise on barely there waves and link section after section of tiny peelers.
Is that the sort of thing you are after?
Like others have mentioned, I love the double stringers.
