Nicole & Dad, freshly landed from Hawaii |
Dimensions: 5'6 x 18 1/4 x 2 1/16
[Completed in July 2014]
Model V-epic
The story: Nicole is a talented Californian surfer girl. Fearless too: she is not afraid to charge big waves in Maui where she trains regularly with her brother and her dad (excellent surfers too!). Nicole competed last year on her first Mere-Made Surfboard (see story here). Second board was soon due for my only female Team rider!
The shape: For her second board, I discussed with her what she should like to change/improve on her previous board. Nothing major which was a relief to hear :). She just wanted shorter without losing the paddling ability. I also made a deeper single to double concave for increased speed. Because I used the same template from her first board she got to name her own shape model. She picked "V-epic" because all the rides are epic on it ;))
The artwork: plain white board was Nicole's request. She had in mind to make her own design on the glass… which she did with the help of her friend!
