Is it for a midget Tux?

5'10" taht is definitely a midget board not a LONGboard.

Hey Tux - it was just one cake of wax! I ordered my new blanks today - you motivated me. Thanks! Picking them up early next week so I can play in the garage over Easter whilst the bird is away. Excited!

What size did you get bro?
Once I finish up with all these sub-6 footers I am thinking of ordering some gun blanks in the 8ft range...

I have plasterboard up in the old part of the house and next week will do the existing. Then I need to get turdy and sparky in to do second fix. Then floorboards polished and laminate flooring in new part. Then bathrooms, then paint. Then get all the kitchen, bedroom, laundry joinery in and window coverings.

Looking about two months out.

Just think of all the money you will make when you sell it...then you will have even more money for a bigger reno next time......

Just a thought on the spray Tux, have you thought about doing a black pin line around the green squares? Similar to makahas splice board?

I just think it would make that green really pop as the spray (offset squares) is a great pattern

Yes mate, has served me well except when trying to stall in big Airport rights. You havta delay your bottom turn or straighten up & fang right to line up barrels. Doesn't like a late takeoff either coz its gotta really flat rocker, but other than that its a great all rounder

^But back to Ted's board, it does look great in shape. But aesthetically speaking, I'd agree..some black lines would look good on it. But I suspect he might be a step or 2 ahead of us

Luckily parts of ours were already done. Bathroom will be the last job for a while. Hopefully.

Yours sounds like its been a complete rebuild... I'm not that brave.
