sorry chrispy better keep you happy too and I can answer SP as well...this is the biggest Bunker to date 6'7'X 22 1/2 X 2 7/8"....and yeah they are chunky little mothers this one is 48 litres
glassing done...blades are on...fin box and filler next....trying to get her finished for cyclone swell but looks like Pam has gone behind New Zealand.
That girl is going to anything you ask and be very nimble - great stuff mate
Will have good release though looking the bottom shots from a few days ago hey RG??? (chine ends gave me that)
chine on boards are interesting. there is so many variations to consider- angles and actual sharpness etc etc
I had a flatwater sup that had hard chines and acute. it throw water out everywhere and wasn't fast. we sanded the bottom edge of the chine out so much that they had to be glassedagain
back in the water it became a machine and won races.
lahui kai have been fine tuning their chines for 4 years now.
what's got to do with long boards - the board reminds me so much of those boards.
I would only get this type of board from shapers like mr goddard or dvs etc- guys that have been designing and shaping for a long time
yeah ok awesome RG
so it's a few surfs without a fin or are you taking a few sizes & varieties on the day brother
Oh and I better ask is the box in the usual sort of position or further back slightly I guess geez
RG my brother used to glass for Midget back in the 70s and i remember Ted Spencer coming in with a board that had blades on which weren't as pronounced as that and they were timber and glassed on but they were about 6-8" from the nose and finished just before half way down the board and about 15mm high..I have no idea how it went but it was a real pain in the a*"* to glass apparently.Have you shaped and surfed that plan shape without the blades and as a single?
Thanks Ron great thread. I've ordered my first mid length from local shaper and watching with interest, keep it comin.
tough few hours in the pit....all good though...lot of hand sanding....rubbing rubbing rubbing....I was waiting for the gene to pop out and grant me a wish or two
Ron,whats the dimensions of the pale blue board,any chance of a close up of it,is that shaped along the same lines,it looks a little more pulled in than the yellow one,i like the look of it,no blades I'm guessing??
