Krusher surfboards #8 for Simon jackson
So my friend Jem howe of jemski waveskis and surfboards http://www.jemski.co.uk/ contacted with me about a guy who had asked about a paipo. So we are doing a collaboration, i'm shaping and he's glassing.
I met up with Simon and we look a a couple of his bodyboards and have decided to take a template from the one he uses most in local surf. Simon wanted the board to look like a surfboard, so i guess its become a mini Lis fish.
I took outline curve from his prototype manta bodyboard, narrowed it 1", tool the from to a point and changed the tail to a swallow. Its 3'8"/21.5/2.5. 25L We interestingly got the volume by weight its 1.8KG per square meter, so after the finished bland came out at 450g (about 1lb!) that worked out to be a 1/4 of a meter square (100L) so 25L's (I think something is wrong in that math will try to correct it later )
This was my first shaping experience with EPS, its funny stuff but i got to grips with it
This board has the deepest swallow tail i have done at 3" and it looks awesome, will be doing this on my next personal board

Hello Krusher,
Lewis from northern NSW has been shaping boards from cheap EPS. This is a finned board. A lot thinner than yours.
I had a surf with him the other day.

Concave is in the deck. I will start a new thread, with photos of my new board, which I really like (it also has a spoon type deck).

Got a few photos from Simon first outing on the board, happy with it so far says it goes well. He found a cheap surfboard tailpad and made elbow pads.
