After all this time I got it back and it looks fine. No crisco finish. Only qualm is the leash plug wasn't centered on the stringer but thats something I can live without since I probably mostly ride this board in mush.

Anyways i am using redx with a x4 sides and x2 trailer.
The board worked better than I thought it would. I copied it off of my favorite magic board and it almost rode identical to it. Its loose and fast and perfect for this socal waist high crap.

Now its back to the drawing board and start working on 002. Next board will be a normal 6'2" squash tail thurster, (001 was a 5'11 modern fish swallowtail). I learned a lot from my first board and next one I wanna try glassing. Just need to get a room to do so.

BUT am completely stoked again after being bummed out for awhile thinking I might never see 001. VERY happy now. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I'm stoked to hear it Hmmm. ..that took what, a month to glass?? [should be well-cured by now !!]

Did you get a spray on it , or is it a whitey ?

How about your next one, any artwork or anything ?

Now, you just need to get your wife sitting on the beach for five hours with a camera getting photos of you ripping on the board that nearly never was... I'm sure she can't wait for you to be glassing your next board [the bathroom is always a good , dust-free area, I find !]

'chippy'
its clear, no logo nothing. i wish my wife would tape but she rather sleep. haha no more in the apt for now. I learned. i'll probably rent a shack or something. i'll try to post some picks later, gonna go surf a lil before the sun sets. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
