How thin is that board in the background of photo 2....obviously there is a little transition in the photo but there is a load of rocker in it. What do you use it for - especially given there are no fins on display?
That was my first ever real surfboard. Shaped back in 1990. Before that I was just on hand me down's.
It is 6'2" x 18" x 2 1/8" thick so pretty normal back then for a 65kg kid. Went well but seemed to handle
beachies better than the west coast of Vic.
It's also the board I learnt to Kitesurf on in 1998 from memory. I put plugs in the deck and mounted straps.
I want to clean it up and hang it somewhere inside, but might be hard as it has gone pretty yellow.
Yeah the ramp was a childhood dream and it took me a while before I got a house with a big enough
backyard. Sadly it looks like it's going as apparently we need to landscape the yard. BUT, I'm getting
a shaping shed instead which will be good and an inground tramp.
