5'1" x 19.5" x 2.3" tri-fin slug plug..."the shoe horn"

This was the very first board that i have built 100% solo! Shaped, glassed, and soon to be installed fin boxes, hotcoat and sanded. the only hands that have touched, and will touch this board, are mine! Shaped out of the garage, then i went to GLOBAL Glassing, where was able to throw some resin on there with all the appropriate deck and fin patches. And from years of watching and partial collaboration of other boards, i successfully laminated this lil' slug plug! From there she went into the tanning booth for some uv treatment. Next post will be covering the fin boxes, hotcoat and sanding!

Chubby Rear end! just like i like em'



Im pretending to know what im doing here...



Bottom lamination, step one...



Tanning booth! for boards! what?!...
insta-cured! Some say it gives off a yellow tone but i dont care, this board is gonna get some aftermarket art treatment before its maiden voyage...
