Model 18- Jake's skeleton V2.



Resin tint quad.





Cut lap, with resin tint.









Tried it as a twin fin. I could really feel the difference in the fin placement. In a bad way!

Model 20- Jake's skeleton V.4


W.I.P


I was working from a different template on this one so I had to decide where to place the fins. I dug into the 'design library' and pulled out my best 3 performing boards. A 1978 Bob Mc Tavish shaped Sky twin fin, a 1980 Mark Richards (designed) twin fin and a 1982 Bob Hurley shaped twin fin. I measured up the fin placements and marked them out on the new board. Interesting to see the difference and the slight change in toe angle.
I took the best of all and went the average.






Jake and I are planning the next paint job already.



Model 17- Rocket Fish


5' 8" x 20 1/2" x 2 1/2".
My favourite board at the moment. What a little rocket!!
I pulled in the nose outline in  a little, narrowed the tail with some flyers and cut a deeper tail swallow  so it might hold on in some hollower waves.
Thick and fast!
Pigment foam stain and pigment resin on every layer including the filler coat. 







Model 15- Shark Girl.





Model - 14 Jake's Skeleton

This is one of the best performing models I have shaped.
Full volume under the chest, soft forgiving rails through the middle, hard biting rails through the tail.
Furtures fin boxes.
