A whole container load of various sized PSH boards should be arriving in Australia soon. I've got dibs on a 9'3" Ripper like the one above.

Yep I commented on these pics last night on stand up zone and to me this is the ultimate in surfing , this guy is no nimble 19 yr old and riding the pit like a true style lord, my fav pics too

Rod, you soon will be the custom board king I reckon, I really like the look of this board and I think this guy Is about 100 kgs.

Rod,
Look like molded boards to me. The custom PSH look more like custom boards with a clear finish I think. Hey I could be wrong.

Yeah I know its hard to tell, but I always refer back to the early wind surf days when Mr Naish was riding the Mistral production boards in competition. LOL

Rod

Yeah standard vacuum sandwich from Asia. Do they have a wood veneer deck under the paint. Wooden decks offer much better physical properties than PVC foam.

Rod

Yeah we both surf like that hey! or should I say want to. He has that photog lined up or is it someone duckdiving. Also checkout how thick the rails are on that board.

Rod

Yeah I did notice someone getting out of the way, I reckon its a photog, If it was someone duckdiving you might see a bit of leg rope or something. I showed my wife the pic last night and she commented how nice a board he was riding. I would be Interested in a board like this, apparantley he weighs the same as me, only Im taller.

Yes I had a look at that video, you could do exactly the same to my boards way back when and we did the sme sale thingy whacken and jumping allover the boards.

The boards are cnc shaped then use a custom build construction (no moulds) which allows the rail wrap with no seam. Its the same way I build full vacuum constructed boards. The CNC shaping allows repeatability of shape, great for mass production, mind you I would not call building 75 hand built full vacuum sandwich boards a week, low production.

Vacuum sandwhich is layered like this from the outer deck down
1. cosmetic paint layer
2.glass layer
3. pvc foam (klegecel, temanto, airex,and others) layer. Or timber veneer which offers better dent resistance among othe rthings.
4. glass layer
5. eps foam of varying densities but mostly 16kg/m3, with or with out stringers.
6.glass layer
7. pvc foam layer
8.glass layer
9.cosmetic paint layer.

Got to go the wife is calling to go out for coffee.

Have a good weekend

Just trying to keep everything fairly honest construction wise, as there are now quite a few Aussie builders who can do this type of construction and also offer custom sizing for your new shooter.

Nice Scotty.. ..shame about the color.. .(kidding)
