Waiting for the bottom clear coat. With a bit of paint and a few bits screwed it should be good


The Minister for War and Finance gave me the nod for a new board for my Birthday.
So off I went to Pete with an idea about a board shape. Nothing new but following the wider thinner board trend. I thought it was a simple idea.
It had to be able to handle all sorts of conditions and sail sizes. And be able to be sailed in waves and be pretty quick in a straight line.Hence the "FRW" Freeride Wave. Using sails from 5.0 to 7.0. What more could someone ask for in a board. I weigh about 93kg. And be nice and strong so that even someone with my destructive skills can't cause to much damage.
After a cup of coffee and hour or so on his computer we came up this shape.

Instead of cutouts we ran with a flyer to reduce the area in the tail.

Double concaves fwd and friendly rails to help handle chop comfortably.

A pretty slick rocker line for straight line speed with a bit of tail lift for a bit of wave sailing.

A power box fin for free ride/weed fins and US boxes for the thruster fins.

Hopefully by Tuesday or Wednesday I will be able to show some finished shots and a quick run down of it's sailing attributes. Then I will find someone that knows what they are talking about to give a review.
