My 6'11" egg

by **Matteeboy** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 10:26 am

Have posted this before but it's the only digi pic of my board that I have.
6'3" x 18.25" Bunty squashtail (narrowish):

Other board is a newer 6'2" with a bit more volume (1/4" wider) but very similar graphics.No pics yet.

Whats going on with everyones wax? :shock:

Freddie - looks like you may have gone OTT on the surftech! :wink:

And all of the other pics have no wax on so they are either newly bought piccys are you dont use em?

I always look for the dirty blck front foot patch, usually a good givaway to a decent surfer :wink:

by **J L** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 10:38 am

No wax as the pic was taken moments after I got the board home from the factory be assured I took the next day off sick and got it wet. :lol:

JL - You can tell your board is spanking new! Ohhh, look at the shine sir! :wink:

I want a new board :cry:

ive got that patch and in no way would i describe myself as a decent surfer, and no i didnt use boot polish!

Is my board dirty enough for you Banana Man?!

I want a new board

that was back in Feb. and after a bit of a clean it still has a good shine quite a well finished board I reckon,

Me too I had to trade in my ex's long board for that little shiner, I was thinking about a Beach beat Fat boy flyer what do you think

The chap who shaped my egg has just started messing about with some samples of different style cloth. go to http://www.atlanticsurfboards.co.uk/sur ... urfer.html

9'1 - I'm usually out on this. Mmm it's so lovely!!

8'0 Gulfstream

Cheers for the link JL, crazy ideas - aluminiumised cloth?

Looks pretty cool but dunno if it has any other benefits? I'd guess it'd be quite a good board in warmer climates as it'd reflect a lot of heat (like the metalic board bags)

Carbon/Kevlar are pretty old designs these days, seems like the research and technology is too expensive for it to be cost effective though! Tufflites/S-cores are the way forward in that field. :wink:

Ive heard good things about the FBF and I'd imagine if you predominately ride a longboard that would be the best option - speak to Chops!

Two creased 6'2's

by **goose_1989** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 2:16 pm

How are those boards different hoff? Like in what conditions do you use each one?

by **The Hoff** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 2:20 pm

The one on the right was too thin so I was going to get rid of it but I creased it. The other one is pretty much the same, just flatter rocker and a bit thicker, but now I've creased that one as well

by **Snowfun** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 2:31 pm

my day of questions continues... ive learnt so much today...whats creasing it mean ?

by **The Hoff** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 2:32 pm

Can you see that line across the one on the right?

by **Chewbecca** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 2:39 pm

ooch, watch out or they'll end up like this:

ahhhh yes! how do you do that, managed to get that look on my old bic but that was by letting a steroid pumped neathanderthal tighten my roof strap as it was flapping and annoying him...tool

by **Matteeboy** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 2:50 pm

This was wife's board after our Portugal trip last year - Must have taken some serious baggage handler abuse...

Hoff - Quite weird creasing them but not snapping them. Must have very strong stringers or something?
Did a bodyboard style crease on my old 6'3" in Byron after a big tumble - Loads of little creases near the nose.

by **Chewbecca** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 2:52 pm

bastards, you should use the chewy packing technique. Never fails.

by **Monkey_Alan** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 2:54 pm

My log has got a crease about two foot long along the length - no idea how the fooker got there :cry:

lol, that wax job on the surftech was so bad, i re-did it when i put my tailpad on it and i got some nice humps, my other board hasnt been waxed yet as ive only had it for 2 weeks, and not been able to too get a lift to the surf :evil:
