Thanks Tux.....nice work. Is that 3 boards that you have on the go at the moment? When are you starting some glassing? That board will have some serious paddle power for those big days on the points. Will be a load of fun to race some sections on I am thinking!

I so need to get my next board built. I am presently trying to restore 2 old single fins - lots of work! Will take some pics next time I am out amongst it.

Hows the swell looking down yr way this w/e? I have work in the Melb office Mon / Tues so will come down earlier if its worthy.
