Glassed & sanded aboard like that a few years back ( shiit,15 years??!!)
Shaped by a guy called George Para.... Paid Dick Brewer thousands to teach him how to shape. Glassing wasn't so bad, sanding was a bitch. He let me ride it aftr it was done, went ok nothing special. Like all of that stuff, dimples, channels etc. it's just another way of putting concave in a board

Yep exactly.I think that it does it differently in each case but the end result is the same...
Re: Dimple Bottoms ???
Hey Mark, have you tried experimenting with different shaped dimples (instead of circular), and also differing positions and depths in relation to positions and shapes? I have no idea if it would change anything, but inspired experimenting is the key to progression!! Possibilities are endless.. Bottom contours, fins etc..
