Home Brew
Hi folks. Feel a little embarrassed showing you the snaps of my barge after seeing so many fine examples of craftsmanship in this forum. Nevertheless... here is the home brew .. borne of a block of foam, no plan, no blank, no experience, no expertise but a ****load of enthusiasm. Anyway... the images show it's maiden voyage at Brighton marina on a beautiful calm evening a couple of weeks ago (and my dog, Ace) and then some kind of finished product in my back yard today in the rain. Board dimension: 10ft 10in x 29½ in x 4 in. 3 layers of 6 oz on the deck and 2 on the bottom with an extra deck pad. The weight is about 14 kg. Fin is out of my Southpoint KT96. Paddle is home made but works beautifully (I don't know any different though!) Had my first surf paddle at Pt Roadknight, Anglesea earlier in the week ... caught a few waves and had a great time... can't wait to get down there again and hope my balance (and bad back) improves. Cheers.

Hi folks here are some shots of the home brew ... brewed in my back yard over the last few weeks. its kind of embarrassing posting these photos of this barge compared to the craftsmanship usually shown on this forum. Anyhow one block of foam, no prior experience, no plans, but enthusiasm always triumphs over knowledge. The pics are not in any order but show the maiden voyage down at Brighton marina on a beautiful still evening and then some shots from my yard on a lousy rainy afternoon after my first surf paddle at point roadknight a couple of days earlier.
