Apparently there was some booming surf down at Kaikora recently just wondering if you had a chance to test your wares and if there was any video? Apparently the surf was 15-20 feet~!

would be good to know

Hi Tux, working on boards, haven't been out in a while and won't be doing maxing kaikoura. We have Anthony Tashnick, Grant Baker, Jeff Goulden, Chris Mumford, Heath Joske and a world champ big wave rider who wants to remain anonymous at present signed up to put some guns to the test, all will be revealed in a crowdfunding campaign shortly. I'll have to speed up my glassing though, as it's pretty slow at present. I'm aiming for the top.

Has the WA charger ridden your board yet Roy? Any feedback ?

Does winter mess up your gel times on the glass

Not really, but 3 layers of 10oz is a bit of a challenge re. fairing and sanding etc. I'm just a slow glasser, and it is epoxy with no poly top coat so it's a bit trickier.

We have an Indiegogo campaign nearly set to go for the project ( Ghost Riders) and I'm making boards for it, it's taking a while.

It's pretty cool that some top riders are lining up to have a go.

Better than being a **** glasser like me

I use to do fun lay ups. Don't miss that at all. You boys who shape boards have my utmost respect. The subtilies matter so much.
