Great looking board ,nice finish ,love your Borg(CNC) implant,no dust,, whoa!!! That looks expensive.
Do you run blanks for others as well ? I might like to have a PERFECT core someday! Very enticing.
Can you copy my paper designs? If so how much does it cost to produce a core with my specs?

Thanks and yes, yes and yes, pm or email me.
I can machine PU and EPS blanks to any spec.
Here's a stack of 6-3 cores I did for a shaper:

that looks like a lot of fin have you tried it with smaller or less fins? Maybee small fins in front or as a twinzer.

Funny you should mention fins, because I lost one later in my
session today. I forgot to tighten the screws after the first time out
yesterday. I felt the difference but was still able to surf some fat
rollers.

The fin setup feels perfect for the swells. It turns really
quick without losing speed. It is harder to ride than my
5-10 Rusty but waaaaay more fun on the face of the swell.
These fins are smaller (3.5x3) than conventional surfboard fins.
I can make lot more turns on the faces and come right back up
and rip one offf the peak before laying a down smooth carve
down in the trough. I've ridden swell since my early windsurfing
days and this is by far the best I've been able to really surf
them.

Fun shit.

It was an early session at Rufus for me today. And Mr. Len10
was going high and horizontal with the kite loops on the Oregon
side while I was ripping swells with four unique windsurfing dudes
downwind on the Washington side. Any Gorge swell rider knows
the spot. Smooth and glassy -makes you want to ride them all
the way to the dam.

Dialing in the outline curve on the 4-9:



The graph and plot along the rail show how the degree of curvature
in the outline changes as you move down the rail. Smooth is good.

This is what the swell pigs are for:



I re-pullled my hamstring on my last session in the rufus
swell and got a nasty bruise running down my leg.
So I won't be able to do it. (aw fuck again) I hope someone
rides those boxcars! Windsurfers for sure. I'd want to be
unhooked when riding down the line. 5m fuel would be
too big for me today. Is there even a kite out there for this?

5m Waroo + Swell Pig sounds like a spicy combo to me... power on tap. Very Happy

How long do you figure you can actually ride (and I mean ride) river swell? I have been out there at Rufus and dropped into a couple big ones on my TT and gotten that gliding feeling for a second or two.

But with the real deal surfboard or swell pig, could you ride some swell for say 10-20 seconds or longer? I mean no help from the kite glide... surfing.

If the answer is yes, I want one. Very Happy
