Yeah, looks a bit shorter, with the nose cut off a bit. Kind of like the deep6 Pipe board from a while back.

Be nice to see more

Were they doing carbon strips that long ago?

The black one is the old one from '02.
The green one is new.
Sorta reminds me of a BuzzGun(sorta)

[griffinsurfboard]

Do you know how many glass shops don't use angle jigs ?

No tape needed !

 

[retodd]

Cause using a jig is such an inconvenience

Simon Kile shaped most of the Kelly boards

Do you know how many glass shops don't use angle jigs ?

No tape needed !

That's why I route and set my own fins.
No mass-production short-cuts.
