Waiting....

Looks like Ormond Beach on Monday.

Waiting ...

It's too choppy and sloppy right now. It's suppose to clean up by the weekend.

Boards ready anyways.

All cleared and sanded.

The Evolution board is completely done. All it needs now are wax and waves. I'm loving the feel of these rails.

Clear Coated

I shot clear coat on the top today. Tomorrow the bottom gets done. Then I'll be done. I'm really looking forward to surfing this one as soon as we get some waves.

Finishing up

This board is almost done. I'm happy with the way it's turning out. The rails, bottom, tail and fin worked out pretty much as planned. All that's needed is wet sanding and clear coat. It should be fun testing this one.

Evolution Board

Here is the link to the Tree to Sea site with details of the construction.

There are several individuals that inspired me to design and build this new board.

I kept drawing rail profiles and thinking about one of my old longboards that had tapered rails. The rail shape I settled on is a leap of faith for me. The rest of the board is the same outline and rocker configuration as boards I've done in the past. This board will also have more roll in the bottom, vee in the tail and concave in the nose.
