3rd try almost over...

[lob]

Here is N°3.
finished to be a 6'5" x 19" x 2"3/4.
Low rocker.
I tryed colours and pinlines for the first time and it's really pain in the arse !!!
The only stage I now have to go through is sanding resin and polishing.
Next one is a fish !!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Cool
Not a knock, but why the strange, beveled rails in the nose?
To keep rails from catching, I'd assume. So then no extra V in the tail? Or extra rocker?
Just wondering, but cool.

...

First of all, it looks cool !!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
But the true reason is: the board wil be mainly used close to Marseille, on the mediteranean sea...
Short wind swells and mostly "chunky". So, the nose should not catch and fly over the bumps.
As the tail is wide, i've put some V in the tail and a slight concave just under the chest to help paddling.
The rocker (I have to take pictures of the rocker I guess) is neither strong nor flat... but closer to flat any way, to help faster take offs and easy paddling on the windy sea.

nop' thruster, my friend wanted FCS... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
You must know that the choice in France is poor...
Either glass ons, or future (hatd to find for amateurs) or F***** C**** S***** <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />

Sweet looking board, lob, though I'm not sure that mayonaise is a good metaphor for a boards performance <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/roflmao.gif" alt="" />

Now the "burre blanc" model ... that I can see.

 

[lob]

Do you mean AÏOLI ? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
It's because the board goes to Marseille, the region where aïoli comes from....
It makes the board really special for my friend because it shows it's his board and no other board. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I know I was just messing with you. Cool board.
