How does it stand up like that?
I reckon a stiff steel rod embedded in the sand behind it.
He has a dowel rod with a little timber platform nailed on top.
Sticks it in the sand and shoots photos, then edits the stand out later.
Voila!

Edits the stand out? Edits the bloody stand out?
Well that's just sorcery and I won't stand for it .
What is the board then, little more than smoke and mirrors.

I conjured up this 2+1 egg in Shape 3d - 6'7" x 19 3/4 x 2 1/2. Its a generic egg but slightly narrower, with a slightly more pulled in tail and more tail rocker. Slight vee nose and tail with a double inside a single concave through the middle.
I was thinking I could ride it in sizie Winkipop, and in small stuff when its crowded. Still pondering whether or not it'll work.

My favourite outline for a board. Looks very similar to my rabbidge mini gun 2+1

Looks very much like my old Rabbidge Fat Boy I used to have but mine was a thruster. Wish I hadn't sold it.

If i was ever going to ride a mid length Pinny, that would be it. Looks good, what do you do from here?

Give the file to someone with a shaping machine?
I've often thought that the custom board process should start with sitting down with a shaper and deciding on the 3D shape you want. You then get a copy of the file that you can use to get the blank cut and glassed , and as a starting point for your next board.

I think Murray Burton is moving in this direction. CAD Software in his Van.

Well, next steps are I have to agonise over every tiny detail of the shape - like should I go 2 7/16ths instead of 2 1/2.
Then I take the file to the Surfboard Studio to listen to Zac tell me how the surfboard industry is full of "tip rats" and to see if they've got a suitable blank and when they can cut the shape on their APS 3000. Then I book a bay to finish the shape. Then I agonise over what glassing schedule to use, actually I've already done this - going with epoxy and s-glass. Then I have to wait till Mrs. Pinhead is going to be out of town for a day or two so I can make an unholy mess in the backyard without being interrupted.

Put a pronounced V about 1.5 ft past the fins all the way to the tail and soften the rails at the back. Might give it a bit more flow. Ah f&ck ignore me I've been caught out with low railed pins before. Great in lined up juice but a bit stiff in less than stellar.
Just a minute. Where is Saltman hiding?

Salman has moved on. No problems with us, other issues.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Maurice cole has a midlength. Red dingo. Looks sweet. So many good ones
https://youtu.be/ZPyBHCSFgXg
I like. A hi performance mini mal (hello Steve
), which makes it a lot more versatile for a range of conditions than some flattened out hipster mid length.
I've ridden a few hulls and had a vbowls, which was super flat - and you are right. Unless you got a really nice point wave, it can be hard work. That said, when the stars align and you get a nice long beachie, they can be fun. I recently got a gato heroi space pig, which i thought would be far more hipster etc than it is, but is has really good rails, rockered out, and for it's length, 7'6, can jam a hard turn. Will be fun to test its limits out in some bigger waves.
You mentioned you added a Liddle fin which lit it up - do you remember which one? I was surprised by the versatility of this board - scored some really fun 4' beachies on it's first run yesterday and it's unreal. It's currently got a Christenson 8.5" flex fin. The swell this morning dropped since yesterday and this thing grovels unreal too.

We didn’t get along - it needed a better quality wave than the majority of conditions I go out in. It’s a really fine tuned board that I never came close to getting dialled.

I used a 9 inch liddle flex fin for a while, but have moved on to a 8inch greenough 4a. Works perfect. Won't be changing fins again in this board.
