I really liked the way the blunt nose longboard came out so am thinking of doing something similar. I typically see these boards done clear or with a solid one color tint, so I want to try something different. I also wanted to give the board an appearance of being wider and shorter than it really is, that is why I did horizontal lines. Any preferences???<div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><b><a href="http://boardside.com/forum/posting.php?mode=post&f=22">Discuss it Here at the BoardSide Forum</a></b></div>BoardSidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08572794307813122478noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980563080791759797.post-85798717762874116442009-10-14T18:03:00.000-07:002009-10-14T16:28:56.473-07:00Shaping All Done<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/Sa4A97tWDlI/AAAAAAAACWM/7WQ3SKEr1xY/s1600-h/P2280107.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/Sa4A97tWDlI/AAAAAAAACWM/7WQ3SKEr1xY/s400/P2280107.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309182074716294738" /></a>Well... I am pretty excited moving on to glassing the board and getting it in the water. After doing a lot of research at my local surf shop, I think the board came out exactly the way I wanted it to. I am pretty lucky to be close to a shop (Icons of Surf) that carry a wide variety of boards, including retro boards that I can spec out. <div><br /><div><div>Just need to sand the fins and do the resin work. I have some ideas on the resin tints I want to place on it. I'll post it in the next few days to get everyone's opinion.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://boardside.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13">http://boardside.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13</a><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><b><a href="http://boardside.com/forum/posting.php?mode=post&f=22">Discuss it Here at the BoardSide Forum</a></b></div>BoardSidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08572794307813122478noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980563080791759797.post-16837701687691834072009-10-14T17:20:00.000-07:002009-10-14T16:29:16.133-07:00Mini Bob Simmons Fins<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/Sayi3bc0BCI/AAAAAAAACUo/IAyPzLQFLrI/s1600-h/P3010169.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 309px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/Sayi3bc0BCI/AAAAAAAACUo/IAyPzLQFLrI/s400/P3010169.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308797133908083746" /></a><br /><div>So with the fins all shaped, now ready to start glassing it. These fins were for the ShortSider board, but it's now going on the Simmons board. This was placed on hold for a while as I was trying to finish up the Blunt Nose Longboard. But here we go. Hope this turns out. Never done this before.</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/Sayi3a7zFkI/AAAAAAAACUg/3p4-37VODBo/s1600-h/P3010174.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/Sayi3a7zFkI/AAAAAAAACUg/3p4-37VODBo/s400/P3010174.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308797133769610818" /></a><br /></div><div>Top side all done. I took the fiberglass fin rope and drenched it in resin, then wrapped it around the fins. Then took some 8oz cloth that I pre-cut and placed that over it. Resined that into place. I did notice that after I was done, that there were some bubbles in the fin rope. Oh well. I think I should of spent more time working the resin into the strands of the rope. </div><div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/Sayi3YOyN0I/AAAAAAAACUY/ubtgCUmoghM/s1600-h/P3010181.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/Sayi3YOyN0I/AAAAAAAACUY/ubtgCUmoghM/s400/P3010181.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308797133043939138" /></a></div><div>After the top was hard, I pealed them up and glassed the underside. I put quite a bit of catalyst in the resin to make it kick pretty hot. Didn't want to wait too long. I forgot to mention that I used wax paper under the fins. This made it really easy to peal up. So with them all glassed, I need to sand and cut the bottoms to get the height I want for the fins. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><b><a href="http://boardside.com/forum/posting.php?mode=post&f=22">Discuss it Here at the BoardSide Forum</a></b></div>BoardSidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08572794307813122478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980563080791759797.post-14342673430687662662009-03-02T19:15:00.001-08:002009-03-03T08:00:23.894-08:00Mini Bob Simmons Project<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/Sayg_sdOybI/AAAAAAAACUQ/5--CnoxYx1s/s1600-h/P2200052.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/Sayg_sdOybI/AAAAAAAACUQ/5--CnoxYx1s/s400/P2200052.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308795076888938930" /></a><br /><div>I just started the Mini Bob Simmon board.

But after some consideration, I think it might work for some boards. What do you think? I still need to make a silk screen for this. <div><br /></div><div>When making my logos, I originally used a laser printer to print onto the rice paper. I didn't have a bubble jet printer, so I went ahead and tried the laser. I was concerned that the rice paper would just melt, but it didn't. The only thing is it didn't print out as dark as I wanted to. Might of been my old printer... So I went with the real way - silk screening the logo. Not only did it turn dark and crisp, it was a lot easier than I had thought.</div><div><br /></div><div>If any of you are interested in creating your own logo design for your boards, I used this thing called PhotoEZ to make my silk screens. Really easy!!! Just print out your logo on regular paper and expose it to the sun to develop it. Here is the link: <a href="http://ezscreenprint.com/photoezstarterkits.aspx">http://ezscreenprint.com/photoezstarterkits.aspx</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Also, if you need rice paper, I went to Micheals and purchased a roll of it (probably about 10 feet of it) for only $12.00. I think you can pick it up at any art store. The rice paper will turn transparent when you glass it.<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><b><a href="http://boardside.com/forum/posting.php?mode=post&f=22">Discuss it Here at the BoardSide Forum</a></b></div>BoardSidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08572794307813122478noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980563080791759797.post-31510749686872048462009-02-16T19:01:00.000-08:002009-02-18T20:43:15.439-08:00Almond Surfboards!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SZoozwW1t7I/AAAAAAAACPE/xfQ8N3-UTpI/s1600-h/KEYS.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 282px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SZoozwW1t7I/AAAAAAAACPE/xfQ8N3-UTpI/s400/KEYS.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303596380801316786" /></a><br />The buddies over at <a href="http://www.lifeisjustswell.com/">Almond Surfboards</a> is going to be opening up their first shop sometime in March!

With the sqwirly tail shape, it has more surface area for tighter turns and the outward curves has a venturi effect, causing suction. I may be wrong though.<div><br /></div><div>If you are interested in building this board or want to see a better view of it, like always, I included the template (PDF Format) that you can download and print up. <a href="http://boardside.com/images/no4_template.pdf">Click here to download the template</a>.<br /><div><br /></div><div>If you do end up building this before I do, let me know the hurdles you came across building this and of course - how it rides!

I felt very rushed and actually barely had enough resin mixed up for each color. I initially had each color in a plastic disposable party cup, but didn't realize, by the time I got to the last color, the cup started to melt and the bottom of the cup busted. You could imagine the mess I had on my hands.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><b><a href="http://boardside.com/forum/posting.php?mode=post&f=22">Discuss it Here at the BoardSide Forum</a></b></div>BoardSidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08572794307813122478noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980563080791759797.post-5640695542152048722009-01-19T18:28:00.000-08:002009-01-19T19:05:49.277-08:00Ready to Start Glassing<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SXU4HxiKJ2I/AAAAAAAACMg/xXJAbtzs-Dg/s1600-h/02A.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SXU4HxiKJ2I/AAAAAAAACMg/xXJAbtzs-Dg/s400/02A.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293198643250734946" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SXU4H8LTaMI/AAAAAAAACMY/2Pjvju6ukAw/s1600-h/2A.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SXU4H8LTaMI/AAAAAAAACMY/2Pjvju6ukAw/s400/2A.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293198646107662530" border="0" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SXU4HuNFqVI/AAAAAAAACMQ/EE30TSYknlY/s1600-h/03.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SXU4HuNFqVI/AAAAAAAACMQ/EE30TSYknlY/s400/03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293198642357053778" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SXU4Hom2lUI/AAAAAAAACMI/mqbaWF34HaM/s1600-h/04.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SXU4Hom2lUI/AAAAAAAACMI/mqbaWF34HaM/s400/04.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293198640854504770" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SXU4HWnb2RI/AAAAAAAACMA/VFVTp6qVFjg/s1600-h/05.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SXU4HWnb2RI/AAAAAAAACMA/VFVTp6qVFjg/s400/05.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293198636025108754" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><b><a href="http://boardside.com/forum/posting.php?mode=post&f=22">Discuss it Here at the BoardSide Forum</a></b></div>BoardSidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08572794307813122478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980563080791759797.post-35722044621077311452009-01-19T18:21:00.000-08:002009-01-19T19:05:49.278-08:00Preparing the Pigment<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SXU2S-61BkI/AAAAAAAACL4/MIj_l3V1ZUw/s1600-h/01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SXU2S-61BkI/AAAAAAAACL4/MIj_l3V1ZUw/s400/01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293196636799174210" border="0" /><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SXU2St2MpqI/AAAAAAAACLw/pk9Mjcd5wbc/s1600-h/02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SXU2St2MpqI/AAAAAAAACLw/pk9Mjcd5wbc/s400/02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293196632216348322" border="0" /></a><br />I spent a little time a night before preparing the colors for the Blunt Nose Longboard.

Especially with the waves being so small lately, I figured that I might as well get started. This is a US Blank 9'3 and will be cut down to a 9'0 longboard. It's actually going to be a present for a friend of mine, so I am hoping it will come out the way I want it to.<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SWbUSmM_x4I/AAAAAAAACIw/lTLLQotsah0/s1600-h/200.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SWbUSmM_x4I/AAAAAAAACIw/lTLLQotsah0/s400/200.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289148228351018882" border="0" /></a>Drawing out the template.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SWbUS5bo2vI/AAAAAAAACJA/c3jS0sE0Epo/s1600-h/202.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SWbUS5bo2vI/AAAAAAAACJA/c3jS0sE0Epo/s400/202.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289148233512704754" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SWbUSs1DC0I/AAAAAAAACI4/hf-Z90FiCxg/s1600-h/201.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SWbUSs1DC0I/AAAAAAAACI4/hf-Z90FiCxg/s400/201.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289148230129617730" border="0" /><br /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SWbUTSnzNtI/AAAAAAAACJI/r8ZsNVyOFZA/s1600-h/203.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SWbUTSnzNtI/AAAAAAAACJI/r8ZsNVyOFZA/s400/203.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289148240274601682" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><b><a href="http://boardside.com/forum/posting.php?mode=post&f=22">Discuss it Here at the BoardSide Forum</a></b></div>BoardSidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08572794307813122478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980563080791759797.post-40272517672479634272009-01-08T20:22:00.001-08:002009-01-08T20:51:37.187-08:00Caution<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SWbROFe-oSI/AAAAAAAACIo/nJ_OXmZptCE/s1600-h/IMG_0507.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SWbROFe-oSI/AAAAAAAACIo/nJ_OXmZptCE/s400/IMG_0507.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289144852313710882" border="0" /></a><br />Seriously don't remember taking this photo, but for some reason it was in my camera.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><b><a href="http://boardside.com/forum/posting.php?mode=post&f=22">Discuss it Here at the BoardSide Forum</a></b></div>BoardSidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08572794307813122478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980563080791759797.post-36630414070191800452009-01-01T17:14:00.000-08:002009-01-02T09:46:17.878-08:00New Surfboard Blanks Just Arrived<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SV1q4LRGdMI/AAAAAAAACHU/UwECH3GQIMI/s1600-h/103.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SV1q4LRGdMI/AAAAAAAACHU/UwECH3GQIMI/s400/103.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286499050932565186" border="0" /></a><br />Just received a couple of new blanks for X-Mas (Thanks Sis!!).

The PDF link below has the actual template. All you need to do is print it, tape the pages together and cut it out.<br /><br />This template measures 5'5 inches and is meant to be built with twin keel fins and a scooped nose. I haven't built this board yet, but decided to draw out the template and add it to the list of boards I want to make. Someday......<br /><br /><a href="http://boardside.com/images/mini_simmons_template.pdf" target="_blank">Click Here to Download the Template</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><b><a href="http://boardside.com/forum/posting.php?mode=post&f=22">Discuss it Here at the BoardSide Forum</a></b></div>BoardSidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08572794307813122478noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980563080791759797.post-68126481083158227672008-11-14T12:03:00.001-08:002008-11-14T12:47:28.171-08:00Surfboard Glassing Guide<a href="http://boardside.com/images/glassing_schedule.pdf" target="_blank"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 316px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SR3Z-Lgo_MI/AAAAAAAAB_I/RShfGb0rdoI/s400/schedule.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268606801358159042" /></a><br /><br />Here is a <a href="http://boardside.com/images/glassing_schedule.pdf" target="_blank">surfboard glassing guide/schedule</a> that I put together. I wanted a chart that would help me figure out the amount of catalyst to put into the resin - based off of the outside temperature and fall within the time frame I wanted before it kicks. It's kind of been a guess work for me, so I am hoping this will help out. <br /><br />This guide is broken down in three sections - Lamination, Hotcoat and Gloss. The measurements are in CCs instead of drops or percentage. Also included is the amount of Surfacing Agent (Wax) to put when making the hotcoat. I modified the amount of MEKP CCs per ounce of resin to fit with the kick times I wanted. So adjust the amount of catalyst to get different kick times.<br /><br />Anyway, if you guys use this guide, let me know if you how it works out for you. I haven't tested all measurements yet, so make sure you do a test batch. Depending on many factors like weather and the amount of pigment you put into the resin, the outcome will definitely vary. So... do this is at your own risk.<br /><br />If you can, post your experience, comments or suggestions to make this better. Hopefully it will help out other fellow DIY surfboard builders.<br /><br /><a href="http://boardside.com/images/glassing_schedule.pdf" target="_blank">Click Here to Download the Glassing Guide</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><b><a href="http://boardside.com/forum/posting.php?mode=post&f=22">Discuss it Here at the BoardSide Forum</a></b></div>BoardSidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08572794307813122478noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980563080791759797.post-74397506588844586702008-11-13T18:36:00.000-08:002008-11-18T14:13:16.113-08:00BoardSide Now Easier to Access<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SNcPbv4_ygI/AAAAAAAABTM/G1qWFukaBvk/s1600-h/66.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I0EK5JcsrQo/SNcPbv4_ygI/AAAAAAAABTM/G1qWFukaBvk/s400/66.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248680860110014978" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I now have the domain <a href="http://boardside.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">BoardSide.com</span></a> setup so it's now easier to remember and keep updated on new surfboard designs and projects that I am working on.
