No worries though, here’s what I’ve been up to lately.
This is a self-shaped surfboard from Finnfoam(polystyrene/epoxy), it’s a stringer less (5″11 x 2″1/2 x 2″ 3/4) retro fish with two keel fins from FCS. Glassed with 1layer of 4oz cloth with epoxy resin. And yes, I screwed up the fin plugs…but who cares, it’s still a test board for me, that most likely will be crashed to the rocks somewhere in the Finnish archipelago.

Haven’t got to test this board yet, but it’s sure interesting board to ride.

My next surf project starts in few weeks as I signed myself to this arts and crafts course in a local wood-workshop. But I’m gonna reveal more about that later.

I also have few clips on Vimeo:
