Hey bro its a 6'4 x 21 x 3 but it feels thinner than that under arm for some reason....the boss got me a go pro so I will try and get an edit sometime before christmas

You've done a great job on that Tux - very impressive work ....the birthmark is your unique Datadot security identification just in case the unmentionable happens

Sh!t yeah! Well done Tux!

That QUNT looks real good, catchy name too

Especially if it can be a QUad too

Respect to anyone who can make a board,looks great Tux well done mate.

Nice

Great job tux, that is a very nice plan shape as it looks longer than 6'4 and nowhere near 21 wide.....
although i am a little disappointed with your fashion style
everyone knows that you can't wear a beanie without excessive facial hair nowdays !!

Very nice.

Jealous of both your skill, and time to complete such a task

Thanks for sharing

Choice bro. That is one well groomed quant

Tux - did you do free laps or cut laps? That shot of you holding her up makes me think you did cut-laps.

only if you combine it with excessive ear ,nose and eyebrow overgrowth

some technical details would be appreciated without giving away your shaping secrets ,
original blank size /type,lap or free cuts as ted mentioned and just a general description of your method

I think he used this blank from memory Sean - same one I have in my garage at the moment.

I have the same blank ready to cut at the moment!!!! what are you thinking of making with yours?

Similar to Tux really - I have an Al Merrick POD that has seen better days so I am copying the basic plan shape from that and will swap the swallow tail for a round one and will go a touch thicker. Might even make the concaves a touch little deeper for fun - 6'2" *20.5 8 2.75 ish

What you doing with yrs?

Yep same blank as per above with the egg rocker or the flatest rocker from memory and then shaved a bit of the nose rocker out and added some in the tail...alot of the waves down here are fattish and rolly so I wanted something that goes over all that with speed.
I did cut laps and it was ****ing hard work...I usd UV resin and looking back I would of taken things alot slower as I had more time than I thought
Shape wise I got the front half of my CI Biscuit and matched it with the back half of my CI Black Beauty so I got something short with good paddle power that is pulled in enough to hold on the bigger days.
Bottom contours are slight vee into single concave and then into a v through the tail
Fin boxs are pro box and they were pretty easy to install...I was pretty stressed as I hadn't used a router since year 9 woodwork but it was pretty easy...I like the fact that you can change the fin cant with inserts
Deck is rolled out to a nice eggy rail shape with a sharp/falt edg starting 16in from the tail
....thanks for all the nice comments and to all the guys that put up there own work on here that I could learn from !!

I'm thinking something like the 5'2 quad below.........bit of a hull up front with a heap of concave through the tail.........

Tux, I really like the look of that board!! Did you make a router jig for the future plugs?

Nah bro I used the brobox fins which cam with Jigs and then made up a couple foply jigs for the leash plug and go pro plug....
