Keeping in the holiday spirit started up a Franken board. So far just pieces to the puzzle from an old 8 footer drying out.

Offshore
Some not so great pics of a fun morning. Pulled from a very dirty gopro before the batteries died. Clean empty lines.

Rain
Took a bunch of boards out on Friday. 6 boards for 3 riders. Overall it was fun despite rain and crowds. Tried out the white board pictured below. Put in a 6.5" center fin and caught a few fun ones.

Work to be done.
Got back to work on the new board. Busy doing some repairs and going to the beach the last week so haven't had time to shape. Finished planning out the thickness. It is going to be 2 3/8". Skinned the top and started doing some dome work. Still undecieded as to the final tail template as you can see from the lines.

Not even out yet 1.2
Mowing foam today. Thinned out the blank to 2 ½” and flattened out the rocker a little in the middle of the board. Started the single concave but didn’t have time to get to far on it.

Not even out yet.
This board is so new new that it isn't even out yet. Planning on documenting the steps every half hour of work for this board to follow the progression. This may change due to the breaking of the second camera in two weeks.
So far what you need to know: U.S. Blanks EPS 6'3"R no stringer.

Bang Bang
New little handgun I shaped up from a scrap off one of the boards. Works pretty well and may get me out body surfing more often.
