Here you go Ted...something to relive the boredom...7'1 x 20 x 3 - The Highline....subtle vee through the nose/chest into a a concave out into a more pronounced vee in the tail...single fin witha narrow thin tail much like an old Terry Fitz Hot Buttered...similar outline and idea as the Mac T speedshape....rails wille be a full and forgiving shap in the front 2/3 into an old school truned down hard rail in the back 3rd...still got a ways to go...have done the bottom and the top...just need to finish the contours on the bottom and do the rails...

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.

hey bro the 6'4 and the 6'0 are all ready just need the final sandings done and they will be ready to glass....glassing is go as soon as this board is finished...so hopefully I will have 3 new boards for indo in August!! Its looking good for the East coast at this stage...6+ with North winds....or 2-3 foot down our way on the west caost....supposed to be North winds but will need to wait and see what happens

Nice board Tux, keep the photos coming.

so how is the glassing coming along Tux? Any pics progress? Where is yr Indo adventure taking you this year? Sadly no Indo for me again this year. If I lived in WA I would probably go 6 times a year.

Nah bro....zero progress...blew up the hot water heater so all the spare money is gone....glassing may not begin until July at this rate. Of to Indo in August ofr 2 weeks on a boat in the Ments....should be a cracker

Thats no good......based where you are I imagine the water heater takes priority over everything else!

Yeah bro....the thought of cold showers did not make the minister for finance happy.....
