This board came out great...definitely my best work. Super clean cutlaps and lines throughout and seamless transitions between layers of glass. The resin art is a little crazier than what I had in my head, but you never know unless you try!!!

10'0" x 19" x 23.75" x 16" x 3.25" Noserider
Here are some pics of the bottom laminate coat of the new noserider longboard. The bottom features a 1/4" deep nose concave that runs the 1st 1/3 of the board, transitions to a flat mid-section with 60/40 rails, and then the last 1/3 has tail vee and deeper tucked rails. The tail also is reinforced with a second layer of 6oz glass to bear the strain on the single fin. Also, I used orange resin tint paste, yellow opaque, and green resin tint for the resin art.

6'8" Freebrid Model Shortboard update
All that is left is sanding now! Sanding is my least favorite part of the process, but definitely the most rewarding when finished. Here are a few pics taken prior to the bottom hot coat kicking.
5'10" x 16" x 21 1/2" x 16 3/4" x 2 11/16" Quad Fish Compete!
Here are some pics of the board taken at Mickler's Landing Beach in Ponte Vedra Beach. The board measures 5'10" x 16" x 21.5" x 16.75" x 2.69" and sports S3 fronts and GX rears. The bottom has one layer of 6oz glass with 4oz fin patches and I used a pink, white, clear and tiny bit of red as a resin swirl combo. The deck has one full layer of 6oz glass with a 6oz deck patch and both sides were wetsanded to 320. Adam and Julia came over before glassing to sign the deck for Christiana.
