[completed in May 2017]
Sold at Encinitas Surfboards, Encinitas CA
The story: I always have half shaped blanks sitting in the corner of my shaping room because either I messed up a dimension for a customer or I was just shaping for an video/photoshoot. And sometimes I find the time to finish them for fun and also to free some space in my tiny shaping room (no way I am trashing a blank!).
The shape: Board #128 is an example of a messed-up board. The rocker was not right (too flat) on the original board but by changing the outline/size, I was able to "rescue" the blank and create a ridable surfboard. This is actually a very interesting and challenging exercise to blend in a new shape that would correct the "defect". I learn a lot by doing that shape transformation.
The artwork: Easy and Meremady as it can be :) (I can paint as much as stripes as I want !)
