glass was trimmed, but needs to be sanded
..this pic doesn't look pretty, but according to him the next day was..and he hasn't stopped talking about it since...go back to your beachbreak brother...
...this powderstick prototype came out of the press today...for every idea, another mold must be made (making molds is like applying shims in carpentry, once you can shim and read a level properly you can building anything.... shimming or producing molds is tedious stuff, you have to slow down, and once your done there's really nothing to look at or get excited about..... the board is made from foam, cherry, glass, and a ptex base (which will be laminated later, back in the press)..with some concave in the deck...pressing fiberglass in a mold as the resin sets makes for a pretty amazing bond as the pressure causes the resin to spread into every exposed surface.....lots of fun in the shop today...a topdeck tomorrow
B.Burke emailed this pic the other day...this was sometime last week....been tons of waves this october, and now this november.....and even better news more surf to come this week..
