BoardSide Now Easier to Access

I now have the domain BoardSide.com setup so it's now easier to remember and keep updated on new surfboard designs and projects that I am working on. Remember to update your bookmarks and tell ya friends.

My Wax Buddy Joe

Here is my Wax Buddy Joe. He has been slowly growing as I de-wax my grungy boards. Someday he'll have arms (One of these days buddy, one of these days...). I think once Wax Buddy Joe grows all his appendages, I'll see if I can sell it on eBay. See what weirdo purchases good old Joe. Hee Hee. Come-on who wouldn't want a lovely teady bear filled with dead skin and who knows what. Maybe even some pubic hairs. Jason, you know you want it!

ShortSider: Stubby Surfboard Fins

This is the ShortSider surfboard fin I just traced out and cut with a jigsaw. I purchased the wood over at Michaels. Cost about $9.00 for a 12 x 12" plywood.




Here are the fins all shaped and ready for glassing. It's been foiled on one side for each fin, the oposite side is completely flat. This will provide the suction I need going down the line.



It will be cut down to size once the glassing is done. It is currently a little tall, but needed the extra height to clamp down when sanding down the fins. Shaping these weren't as bad as I thought it would be. It only took me about a total of 30 minutes from tracing to shaping these fins.

New Surfboard Templates

Here are some of the surfboard templates just carved out. Middle one is for the ShortSider stubby surfboard. I know I mentioned that the longboard is going to be my next project, but I have been really into shorter boards lately and may start on the stubby surfboard first.

You can see in the photo above that I used a printed template to get the shape I want. I used Adobe Illustrator to draw out the surfboard design and printed it with the tiling feature and just taped all the sheets together to make the full size template.
