Black Dahlia Progress

Second Lam layer of 6oz +4oz fiberglass for the deck. Hot coats are next and pinlines are next. Super excited how this board is turning out.

Black Dahlia Laminating

Laid down the first layer of glass yesterday on Nic's Black Dahlia. 6oz fiberglass along the bottom with a V-inlay of Volan fiberglass along the tail. The board is definitely turning out to be my favorite so far. Designed to surf aggressive while holding a classic line!

Progress on Nic's custom.

A black board? yes, because there's not enough of them. 9'x18''x22''x2.5''x17'' My take on a pig/chip. I blended aspects of 3 of my favorite boards together. Dagger/Pointer/Fineline SYT.
Super knifed rails, narrow nose, big butt. Still can't tell at this point if you should put a D-fin in it or a Greenough. Hopefully both will work great. If so, that means mission accomplished.

85 degree lunch break in OCT.

Chest/shoulder high waves- average shape, but worth getting out in the sun. Love this time of year!
