Modern Single Fin

I finally finished the modernization remake of the old Lightning Bolt board. The rails are substantially more honed. The bottom has a light single to double concave. I did not change the rocker much, very mild. The board is glassed with super sap and clear formula bio resin. It came out pretty light. I should weigh it. With these changes, the board will be quite responsive and fast, which will add to the smooth, full turning a single fin does.

Bio Mini 5'3''

• 

This is the order card Chad gave me for his board. It is glassed with the clear bio epoxy, and shaped from a recyclable blank. I have not done many of these boards with the full size keel fins. It does not have a stringer, just a glue line. This board will be super fast and will do radical flexing.

Bluegill

This one is for me. 6'6'' wood bottom, wood cork wood rails, glassed with Entropy bio resin, and shaped out of a recycled blank. I tried cork in the rails this time. I want to see if their is any difference in flex. I have seen Paul Jensen and Danny Hess's wood boards using cork on the rails. They look really good. I don't think cork is much lighter, if any lighter than the wood I use, but I think it will be interesting to see how impact compression reacts from rail dings.

Corky, bellyboard

3' belly board for Jim. I pressed two layers of cork onto some paulownia and added a little kick in the nose. Then I glassed it with entropy bio resin. Jim likes some handles at power points so he can push and pull so he can bury the rails on turns. I added the cork so it would add some float. I hope to get some feedback tomorrow.

7'6'' Eco Ambassador

Rosa's new 7'6''. bio resin recycled core. The two of them are in Mexico at the moment during a nice south swell.

Surfcraft Cooperative 7'2'' Bio Board

This is the Cyrus Model. Low rocker and nice volume. One could ride in about any wave condition. I used a recycled foam blank, Bio resin and put on a veneer deck. Please excuse the distance of the footage. The camera is stationary on the beach.
