I must admit board building threads are my fave, its just so awesome to see people having a crack. I am useless as seeing rocker and concave etc. Could be something to do with the blind eye. If any breezer is going to sucker punch me come in from the left side:)

Bob was in when I rang. Got talking about the Speedshape.
We're going to go along the lines of a 1 inch redwood stringer, and blue tints as per the speedshape. Bring the wide point back an inch, and give it harder modern rails. The current 8'10 has softer Tracker style rails (retro).
So it will be retro looking, but modernised.

9'0 x 22"1/2 x 3.
Handshaped.

If your going to keep throwing it under the bus like the last one you might need 3 x 1in stringers....lol (Is it to early to be making jokes about a snapped board)

Okay so I started a new board yesterday but its not the 9'2" pig (the blank is still sitting at a mates and I wanted to cut some foam. I guess my question is if anyone is still interested in a build thread of a 7'0" single fin tracker? Its a mid length so there is no forum for that and its not a short board......so.....? I'll still do a build thread for the pig but that's now at least a month away.

9'6 x 23' x 3' is a great benchmark hey!

Add 1/8 to make it a mans board!

Great choice Mac!
What are the changes from the last one, or is it a replacement?
Are you their most valued customer?!

Good work buddy!

(General Note for new longboarders - 9'6 is a classic "Longboard" length, and 9'1 is the standard High-Performance length. If you are stepping up from a shortboard, probably start off with a 9'1 High Performance, or dive straight into the deep end, and go 9'6 from the get-go!)
