My New Board
I have finally got around to making myself a new board. Its a new model for our line up, so before we offer it up as a design for Workshop participants to build, we need to be 100% confident that we have all the bugs ironed and its a proven design.
It's a 7'2" Pintail single fin, with a Retro outline but with modern rails. Its always a challenge when your working on a new design, each board has its own complexities.
Really happy how its turned out.

Rodney's New Shaping Stands
Rodney sent us this email about his shaping stands he has made.
Rob
Attached is the plan, materials and method for the Surfboard Shaping Stand I designed and built. Feel free to distribute it to any of your woodies who might want to make one. It is soo much easier than working off stools or benches to finish your board. Cost about $60 worth of timber plus some fasteners and some rubber.
Aloha
