Spray gun???????? I thought that was the after effects of a night of pub crawling....just joking lol
This is a great time to be a kneeboarder. Our KB shapers have the many years necessary to create great boards almost everytime.
And the one thing KB shapers have over standup shapers is that there is not the pressure to mass produce a product. Kneeboarding is still a tiny percentage of the surfing population and we KBers all benefit from that with every KB virtually a custom creation.
And with devoted shapers such as Bud, I dont think we'll see a decline in quality anytime soon.
And I'm glad to see that there are more of us 50 and over KBers still in the water and having the standups say, "dang, here comes another kneeboarder".

THAT IS AWESOME! 
Looks like a super fun shape and fin setup.
We did a couple 6 finners back in the day.
Boy he's got me beat by 2!
Are the fins glassed in?
The guy who sanded it is a saint.
My sander would laugh at me for bringing him something like that.
It'd sit in his shop for a year.
Might have to build one and do it, just the same
The paint job brings back memories from the ones I did in the mid 80s.
Fun to do.
Several cups of paint a few cheap brushes and let fly with the color.
Thanks Headwax

Yea.
wax confessed to me about that.
I did notice it looked like the fin templates on Baden's boards.
I still think it looks cool.
Bet it'd be really fun to ride with 8 fins like that.
Though technically there might be some drag issues......but you never know till you try it
.
Still might spring one on my sander.........just to ruffle his feathers .

I don`t think they exsist. I agree with the though that its about your conferdence.Don`t get me wrong The boards do play a big roll. But one person thinks is the "magic" board , the other guys says no way, I have it. I believe 3things are involed....You, Board, Wave. I don`t know about the rest of you, the places I surf don`t have a consistant, perfect waves. Everyday is a different wave. Meaning the board woeks great day and the days, its just another board.
