Fin sketch

Some art getting done by Carolyn. Sketch of a painting for a fin.

Mug Shots

Current boards as of today, it changes often. The ones that have been around a while stay because they ride well. From the right:
6'3" rounded pin thruster
5'10" squash tail thruster with carbon
5'7 3/8" Eagle claw tail single fin with carbon
5'9" modern fish tail thruster
5'6" mini squash tail thruster with carbon
5'3" modified diamond tail single fin
Size M S-glass moon tail skimboard
The little guy up high is the diamond tail hand plane

Hourglass Close up

Since finishing the hourglass board we have had one poor day of swell so hasn't been ridden as much as it should. However here are a couple pics to get a better idea of the board. The top is while glassing, you can see how it is a simple mellow outline and boxy rails with a fairly flat deck to conserve volume.

The bottom is a little different than your average. The black channels are 2" wide x 1.5" deep and 15" long. Also has some small wings to narrow up the tail and a small battail to help it paddle fast. On the really tiny boards it is all a balance of keeping enough volume to be usable and try to keep it fast enough to paddle. When it gets steeper the lack of rail length and the boxy rails can make the board a little sketchy so for this board I went with a single fin so it could hopefully hold tight and be more adjustable.

Shapes

A new 5'10" squash on the table. This pair of boards are made with summer in mind fun with a tad extra volume so you can get on it more. Both should be done in the near future since they got put on hold for a couple other projects.

Fresh waves

Cool little standing wave that was forming in a stream so I snapped some pictures. Bigger than whats been breaking in New England the last few weeks.
