I didn't see it at first, and thought they were blems, but that is your reflection, camera in hand, the street light and 2 powerlines, and a tree line in the reflection, nice.

Yeah that's my reflection of my holding a camera.

It's back on the vacuum table. It's going to be finished today! Whooot!

Josh I am keeping the board! (kidding)

This board has no graphics... I'm still trying to perfect my process. Josh likes stickers anyway

Next board gets custom graphics.

Took a nick out of a @#$@#$ rail with my router @#$$@. But, still working the rails anyway so I can fill it in and it'll be fine. Just pissed me off.

Anyway here are some pics. Rails are not yet shaped.




Weight without straps is 75 ounces (4.6 pounds)

Tom I feel ya.... well, not literally... unless ya ask nice!
Don't ya hate it when you are routing and the edge gets thinner so your bushing guide slips off and ya cut right into the board.
I have about 5 boards that are 1/2" thinner than they were designed because of this.

Board looks sick!

Looks awesome.
Is there only one hole per fin?
I think UG use to have one hole on top and two dimples on the bottom to secure fins. Is that what you are doing?
I heard Josh doesn't even kite anymore.
Maybe I should take that off your hands.

Yeah I only drilled the center hole. I think I am going to drill out the others half way (like the old undergrounds) and if josh wants to use standard fins all he has to do is drill them out from underneath. Pretty sure 3 holes will work with either type of fin.

@#$# I want to keep this board REAL BAD.

But I am curious to see if Josh will ever break it (assuming he likes how it rides.. if not no big deal). I have serious doubts about it breaking.

Argh. Well I got lucky, the dig into the rail was actually pretty minor once I trimmed everything up and shaped the rails. Did not need to do any fixes.

Here are some better pics from a real camera (instead of a cell phone)... the top is not bumpy it's just how the carbon/kevlar looks because it's not perfectly straight lines... it's diagonal instead.
