update

It's been a month, so I guess its time for an update. I'm still working on putting together my blank, as I wrote earlier, I'm gluing up 1830mm by 13mm pieces of fulcata. It's a bit tedious, but thing are coming together. The blank will be 2130 by 600 mm, about 7ft by 24 inches. I'm cutting rocker into three or four boards each weekend. Here's a pic of where I'm at...



Had a good trip to Hawaii in January. Got another great board shaped for me at the Factory, something along the lines of a Mitsven round-tail quad (although I went with the quad/thruster set up). The board has a really wide round tail that produces a crazy amount of lift. I'm thinking about going round tail on this build as well...time to jump back on the aku shaper to see what I can come up with. Here's a pic of the new stick...
