Here's are couple more pics

Have a board in the works being shaped by Tony Caramagna of TC Surfboards. Tony grew up in the Point Loma and Sunset Cliffs area here in San Diego and has made kneeboards before. He is very easy to work with and I feel I was able to tell him what I have trying to do in my shaping. He was very open t...

So I went for another try on this one and I'm pretty happy the way it came out. 5'x22" unknown thickness. Concave deck with a double concave through the fins. It's set up as a twin. Files are two big can't post them here, here's a link. http://mypaipoboards.org/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=74...

Well it didn't work out the way I wanted so I think shaping one is pretty much over. I ended up doing a paipo to save the blank but not to happy with the outcome. May be the last one I shape.

Well revisiting this board again. I did end up stripping the glass off the original board and was going to make a paipo out of it but ended up messing up the board anyway. So I ordered another blank today, going with 5'10 RP Blue density stringerless poly blank. It will be a hybrid of a kneeboard an...

Thinking of taking deck glass off this board and taking foam out of the rails and out of the nose and middle. Attemping to make a spoon because its been in my head to long. Just need to see if a glass shop will reglass the deck for me. Anyone think it is worth it?

Well I think I could still kneeride it at 4'11", will need to have some push I would think. I'm also going to be learning how to glass on this board. Hopefully have it done for the Crystal pier contest to show anyone that's interested. Did the fin boxes last week and will be doing the bottom la...

Found a blank. It's one I've used before and can't believe I forgot about it. I must be getting old.

Looking for the 6'5" fat fish from surfblanks Australia, and want to go stringerless. I emailed them this week but haven't heard back. There's a place that sells their blanks here in San Diego, I didn't get a chance to go up there this week, tried the number but wasn't in service.

This is a long shot, but was wondering if anyone is getting a board from Australia anytime soon? Looking at getting a blank from there and wanted see if anyone wanted to split shipping. Let me know if you are. I can't find a blank here that would suit what I'm trying to do unless I get a really big ...

I'm rethinking this board. Will have to order another blank. Not sure when though. Will be cutting 2" off each end and do a bellyboard.

So I finished the board last night. Ended up with less foam than I thought at 2.5 in the middle of the concave and 2.75 out at the rails, I tend to over shape sometimes. Anyway I'm pretty happy the way it came out there are a few flaws but other that I'm ok with it. We'll have to see how the lower v...

Started the board last night. It's 5'3" 22.5" 3.25" with the foam carried out to the rails. Very low rocker with the bottom flat with vee in the last 18". Nose and tail widths are at 18 and 18.75. Question I have is if the boards pretty short do I move the fins back? I'm thinking...

Hey Damian how did the board feel for you? I'm hoping to feel some flex on turns and closer to the water. I've been riding bellyboards for the last 6 months or so and really like the closeness to the wave. Right now the plan is to scoop out the foam like a spoon and have the tail thinned out. Will p...

Blank has been ordered, 7'3 A stringerless should be enough foam.
