The birth of a long board
1 Attachment(s)
Well it's my turn in the shaping booth. I am having Jeff at soulcraft build me a long board. Like I said in a different thread the board will be a 5'6" with a twinzer fin set and a center fin so I will have different riding options. Here is the first pic to come in my blank is the third one down. Ill add more pics as they come in.I cant wait to see what Jeff comes up with for me.

Can't wait to ride it! I'm sure It will a piece of art! Red& black I presume??

Looks awesome Squid. I think mine is shorter with some extra fins and will have a retro old school graphic.Are you coming to the WCO this year??
|
ya buddy...wouldn't miss it for the world..
|
looks sweet Squid it will be nice to hang out again at the WCO. Im loving all the interest in the longboards after the Polar Bear.
|

Here is a pic of the board fresh out of the CNC machine
|
that shape looks SWEET!
|
can't wait to ride that sucka!!
|
just sent jeff a deposit for my own "big dumb board" :)
can't wait to see how it rides. supposed to do 3 finboxes, one in the middle and 2 outers. will be fun to play with the difference between a single deep fin and then switch to 2 smaller outer fins.. also picked up a set of black stix for my jetty from jeff at corson's recommendation. come on spring and a HUGE shout out to jeff from soulcraft.. keep up the great work :) |
Why not go with a twinzer set up plus the single long ?? It will give you more options and should not cost any extra. My Board went to paint so I should be getting some new pics soon.
|
duals will be fine. don't need the 4fin setup. I'll save that for the board that I want to progress on. this board is more for fun. and it should be...

Sue do you still have the Soulskimmer? Kristy is going to have Jeff make her a skim board before summer ( I’m hoping). She is curious about how you like it, and what length it is. Do you have any pics of it?

Tony not sure about the size but here are a couple pics of a soul skimmer
|
I think K is really gonna like the look of that! She can’t make up her mind on the graphics tho! Maybe the Special “K” Cereal box logo LOL!

torn. have heard wax is messy. don't really want front traction, but think maybe rear pad and the rest wax?
|
now you have me thinking a rear foot stop would be nice.Ill have Jeff send traction and add it later if I don't like the wax.
|
Wax all the way, you’ll just have to put it in my boat so you don’t get wax on that pristine condition Falcon!
|
I'm thinking about rear traction and playing with wax on the rest. probably do the same thing, keep it off and try it once without..
just need a lesson on how to wax. wonder if jeff will hand deliver them :) |
Wax brother....you'll never be in one place long enough to use a rear track pad....If you want I can have Mrs. Squid make you a sox or you can pick one up at the surfboard warehouse...
