Yeah, it’s made for you bro How much do surf boards go for? bet you get some funky designs on some...I appreciate that kind of thing.
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 my old dog Archibald in the pic too
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.
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.
No chance bruv ... up to eyeballs work wise ... hence limited to post school run and last hour postings today ... need my beauty sleep ... not as young as I once was
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 ... do wonder about his memory at times mind
I was a bit of a skateboard kid in my youth and decent with a snowboard and windsurfing on lakes thought that would extend to surf but **** no, different ballpark. Paddle out, try to stand up fall off get swept in, paddle out try to stand 2 seconds up fall off swept in, paddle ou... Well you get the picture. @PINKIE
