Sam's new 7'10

[Admin]

Sam is shaping a new 7'10" x 27.5" x 4" board from scraps.
So far he has invested $27.00.

For example, the plastic stringer is actually exterior siding.

Very nice Sam, well done.

Where did you get the EPS from?

How wide and thick is it?

Nice board Sam! Was that the one you were glassing the other day? Love the bolts!

Mahana,

Nice board Sam! Was that the one you were glassing the other day? Love the bolts!

No.........this board was finished back in March of 08' so I just up dated this forum. The bolts came from the gang at "Lightning Bolt Maui". The cool thing about it........It's laminated

Casso,

Where did you get the EPS from?

The block was 8'x 48"x 6". Found it at a job site rubbish pile. So I made my own rocker template, PVC stinger (cut & glue), template outline, shape , and glassed.

How wide and thick is it?

So the finished board is now 7'-10"x 28"x 4 1/4". It takes a little bit of balance, but is soooo much fun to surf.

Nice work Sam, impressive craftsmanship and a beautiful finish. Looks like a rocket ship!

You got talent bro! Scraps from the rubbish to SUP...insane! Man after my own heart too...I love finding wood to use for projects that would end up in a landfill otherwise.

WOW...really sweat ride!

Thanks......It's really a fun board to ride. Unfortinatly I'm putting it up for sale to offset the cost of my new board.

Aloha.......Sam

No not really (not sold)...........I still have it. One guy was supposed to pick it up.....But like anything else "money talks".

7'-10" Short SUP update

Ok....it's been along time coming but I finally did it.... I was always thinking of making video of this board I made a year ago, but I had no knowledge of editing video. But now that I know how to use a gopro camera.....It's done!

Hope you guys enjoy........


It's also on youtube......I prefer to use Vimeo. I don't need to go through the copyright BS that Youtube restricts you to use.

Aloha.....Sam
