Old Curves


I made this board a while ago inspired by my love for old mals and after watching Midget Farrelly tearing at Bells Beach in the movie 'Hot Generation'. It is 9' 2 1/4" x 22 3/8" x 2 7/8" with a stringerless contsruction glassed light with 4oz cloth. Planshape is hippy at back and pulled in and parrallel through the nose. Rocker is a little tweaked as I put it in when I was glassing the board.
Lately I have been having a ball on this board. I love the way the rolled bottom rolls you up onto your rail through turns and I am surprised how well the board locks in on the nose and trims through sucky little sections. I think the nose rocker flattens out when I'm on the nose due to the absence of a stringer. Fun.
