    All depends on the quality of the board. And who's made it. My bro Jackson who made this board with me does this as his full time job, so for one like we've just made you'd probably be looking at about £1k retail. I think we spent about £450 on materials, blank, cloth, resin, tints etc

    Loads of board now come as pop out moulds from old templates, made with cheap materials in China and licenced under the big surf brand names. Like a lot of industries, mass consumerism has taken over.

    But you can't beat a board built from start to finish by hand, there's some real skill in that and a lot of soul that goes into making one of those.

    Yeah some great designs. Personally I like resin tints. So basically you can either spray the blank (the foam core) with paint. Or you can mix colours into the resin.

    This was another board I made a few years ago. Resin swirl tints, based this on an album cover by a band called Luscious Jackson who @luvgonzo will probably know

    I called that board The Chipper, as I made it from an old blank that I had lying around that was the same shape as another board. So it was a chip off the old block so to speak.

    And yeah, cheers bro. Archie. I miss that stinky old dawg. <rose>

    Having seen you both, I reckon you’d kick his **** in tbh.

    Nice board btw mate. Completely not my bag and I don’t understand any of it, but can appreciate the hand built skill.

    <doh> Ponky has previously put a pic up ... during the time that many of us did, in the wake of the HIAG doxing ... I already knew what he looks like, but there would be little comedic value in referencing his real looks ffs <laugh>

    ... do wonder about his memory at times mind <whistle>
