Yeah like the shape , nose is sweet - really curious about the channelling , can I ask you post up how she goes in surf lace? .... I'd be interested to read that.

dale has done a couple and the boys are frothing over them. he himself reckons they're the go too. absolute pain in the butt to do on eps foam and epoxy so they cost.

the standing area and to the tail was hand shaped flat leaving proportionally more volume from the feet on. left the nose a bit fuller then i have before.more to gain then lose have a bit of width up there

mac, didn't have time to surf it, just quickly put it in the creek and changed the back fin to a the jm centre fin and left the side sunny's. better put that in the archives for me mac its the photo doing that to the back

thin in the tail, but it actually paddles pretty good in the flat for its size

Can I prone it one day

i guess so


cheers

ps no offence mac, its just a good excuse to post that vid

that is a wicked set of channels, reminds me of my cousins Darby from the 80s with channels so sharp you could cut yourself on them.

I don't mean to hijack but check this out for an interesting board.

I can remember the whole channel era, back in the day I had a col smith single fin, my cousin had a Darby another mate made his own (his channels btw were crooked and soon after he retired his planner lmao). Ahhh memories.

I always reckoned channel bottoms worked well and would imagine that SUP will be a little ripper.

Wasn't it Terry Fitzgerald that was doing channel bottoms like this? ( I may be wrong )

I had a 6'3" Murray Bourton shaped chanel bottom that was my alltime favourite when I was about 15. So much drive and speed. Definitely a good idea on a SUP for a hollow point break. Thats a great looking board Mark. Should be able to get those chanels firing on all six cylinders. Also refreshing and far more interesting to see photos of a custom made board in it's natural environment of a local shapers factory rather than pics of another pop out 'model' being popped out of bubble wrap.

Very keen to hear how it goes Mark, I think I may have just seen my next board. (just don't tell the wife)

Looks great dale how about a 8 /0 in that carnt wait for a run hope your bringing it to Perth for a day at stricos after the doctor
