Howdy all

long time since i have posted so i thought this would be a good topic

i am having a new board made up by Bob, about 90% finished and at the moment measures 12'2" x 25 x 3 1/4

went for 2 x 1/2 inch cedar stringers and will glass with 2 layers of 8 ounce volan top and bottom. Will do the Champagne volan job which is just straight volan with a little bit of brown mixed in. Going to have a Red old school gel coat comp stripe done couple of feet up from the tail on a angle. going for a Red glass in D fin also.

anyhow here are some shots of the work so far.

Beast Mode mate. I'd love a paddle on it one day.

Whoa!! That is a beast! I have a 10'2" almost complete but that makes it look like it needs a feed.
M8 love the wide stringer look. That is going to be gold!

Looks very nice. A real crowd disperser if ever I saw one. And that fin

You need a marina not a board rack....

I hope Billy Mclean's got a set of roller skates to glass that sucker Nice looking stick Big Fella

No way. So jealous, maybe next time I see you, you can swap onto my tiny tiny sub 10 foot board

12'2" x 25 x 3 1/4

Wow thats gonna have some glide, would love one for summer

Great looking stick BS. The classing will be fun to watch - probably need a few diff mixes going. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Just out of interest- is this the biggest Board Bob hadsfe this century ?

Cracker BS, can't wait to see it gliding across those 1-2' peelers sometime.

Wow mate you get the perspective of dimension with Bobby Baby standing there next to her ... hope the Van is big enough

Bloody beautiful,love it.you'll have fun on that,great to see pics of Bob making it to

fin box or glassed in spazz

would a fin box be pointless on a 12.2.

haha no i think the biggest board Bob ever made was a 16fter that i think was like a wind sail blank or something. It is sitting in Hogs Breath cafe in Byron apparently although i havnt seen it

ahha all good brother. Going to go for a glass in this time. Big D. close to the tail. I find you need a big fin on big boards because when you go forward there is so much tail lift the back can start going crazy!

i like big fins too because 130kgs with a size 18 foot turning them isnt that hard at all i dont think

Wow that other board is huge ! Love to see some footage of it being Surfed. Could probably have 2 or 3 on it

14'ter as in a 666

I keep coming back and looking at this thing. Just amazing. I imagine it would just cruise on barely there waves and link section after section of tiny peelers.

Is that the sort of thing you are after?

Like others have mentioned, I love the double stringers.
