Since no one posted, here's the best in show winner-So who won the shape off?
......and best in show?
Here's the stuff that caught my eye from the build off-
Trippy fins
Classic fins-
I was intrigued by this aysm- pretty subtle tail, nest to it were two , book matched asylums.
There were a lot of entries-
As couple other things I noticed -
Weird twinzer placement-
Good twinzer placement-
Cool-
One thing I'll mention that surprised me is that the Dark Arts did not seem that light to me. I was expecting 4-4.5 lbs. My shortboards come in around 6 lbs and, just anecdotally, seem about the same weight. The bonzer I made came in at 7lbs and seemed heavy to me. I made the mistake of not putting a gloss coat on it to keep the weight off and because of that my polished sand coat was sub standard compared to the other boards. I'm going to go back and put a proper gloss coat on, only because of the figured wood. I really prefer sand coat boards.
ps people malign LA for the traffic but the traffic on the 5 was a total nightmare. I missed the Best in Show judging by a half hour+ because I was not expecting bumper to bumper, stop and go, from Trestles to Carlsbad. Fook
Special thanks to K for the aloha. Also , was good to see Señor and Señora Pato in La Jolla.
