Confessions of a Novice Shaper. The ups and downs of a newbie surfboard shaper. Monday, October 29, 2007. A friend of mine recently asked me to shape him something for the mushy slop-surf that we typically get here in the NY/NJ area. After telling him that my Brom twin. Just about tripled my wave count over my everyday shortboard, he was sold on a twin fin. So last week we began on what will eventually be known as The Datsun Twinnie (named in honor of his band, Red Datsun. New York, NY, United States.

Confessions of a Novice Shaper. The ups and downs of a newbie surfboard shaper. Tuesday, October 9, 2007. Sorry for the lack of updates, but I'd like to take a moment to introduce you to one of my new projects. Its called: "The Rehabilitation of a Mandala" (forgive me Manny! A view from the bottom. Hmm, whats that strange white line on the left side? And rounding the rail, you'll see that the fin penetrated straight through to the deck. Nice clean fin cut, looks like it was cut with a Ginsu. Actually, wh...

Confessions of a Novice Shaper: December 2007

http://noviceshaper.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html

Confessions of a Novice Shaper. The ups and downs of a newbie surfboard shaper. Saturday, December 15, 2007. Recently, I received a comment on my last post. Requesting that I describe a little bit about how I went about doing the tail on the Datsun Twinnie. Cutting in the tail would've been nice if I had an electric jigsaw, but I used a small handsaw instead, stopping just short of the middle of the stringer from each side. Then by hand, snap off the cutout. After cutting it out, I then took a small (rat...

Links to this post. Thursday, April 26, 2007. So this week I've been concentrating on building myself a set of shaping racks. After checking out the price of the shaping racks. Meanwhile, the geek in me insisted on drawing up some plans on the computer. The next day, I screwed the whole thing together like so. With all this...

Confessions of a Novice Shaper: Down But Not Out

http://noviceshaper.blogspot.com/2007/11/down-but-not-out.html

Confessions of a Novice Shaper. The ups and downs of a newbie surfboard shaper. Monday, November 26, 2007. Down But Not Out. Bad news for Novice Shaper fans, I've decided to vacate my shaping room space as a result of another break in (second in six months) while I was away enjoying warm Hawaiian waves earlier this month. Nothing was stolen, except a $20 radio and some piece of mind. Amazing what a crack head will do to for a few bucks. Hope to be back up and running soon. Sorry to hear that. Swaylock's ...

He finally has everything in order and will be shipping my blanks. Shipping costs sting a little though.$130! Thats for a box of five blanks. Hmm, I wonder if I'm getting ripped off? Lets see, thats $26 per blank, blanks were about $50 each. I could've gotten them locally for about $70, I guess I'm not too out of line.

An inconvenient month: Guest Bloggers

http://inconvenientmonth.blogspot.com/2008/05/guest-blogger.html

Sunday, May 4, 2008. Kieth on Transportation and life in Tahoe:. You would be amazed at the vibe up here.It is what Solana Beach once was. Down to Earth people that share time with family and friends. Little or no arrogance with very meager earthly possessions. Rarely lock their doors and always welcome you into their homes. Business open late on powder days and it is both accepted and understood. Pretty darn cool! John on surfing, N. Rios, and gas prices:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

An inconvenient month: March 2008

http://inconvenientmonth.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

Monday, March 17, 2008. So, apparently it's not getting any colder out there. It struck me recently as I watched yet another documentary profiling a homeless polar bear, that those clever environmental scientists were not trying to scare me into recycling with their predictions of rising oceans and dissapearing ice caps. They were actually just.telling the truth. Damn. The answer is easy. I drive. April, the great Earth Day month, I have decided is a fantastic month for raising the discomfort level and c...
