Looks good Tom.
Are you going to demo it soon?
Does that board have the same flex (thickness/stiffness) throughout?

Tom Stock 11-19-2007 03:28 PM

Needs a little more finishing.. but no, there is some flex at the tips. It's 1/8" thick at the tips and rails and 1/2" thick in the middle of the board.

The rails are stepped down to 1/4" at the sides and 1/8 at the tips.

This is my sole remaining Unimog. A little brake work and I'm in the middle of adding a turbo

We have a lot of talented builders in our area.
I have been building up my tolerance to constantly changing wind forecasts.
Has anyone actually been reading this one: http://capmel.com/marine_wea1.htm ??

If so, remember... it's for entertainment purposes only.
They changed the wind direction 4 times and the wind speed 7 times yesterday on the forecast for Thursday.
I lost track of Friday's changes.
Funny stuff, changing a forecast that is 5 days out every 3 hours.
Anyway, I feel for you guys that do read it and don't have the tolerance built up that I have built. :)
