Picked up this used Coil Bonzer the other day. Got it for a killer price that I couldn't pass up. I've never ridden a Coil or a bonzer before. We'll see how it goes!

Nearly completed. My Anthias Keel Fish for Ziobaffa Wines. Been saving this beautiful piece of Agave for this project. Glued that as an alternative to the 1/8" Basswood stringer. Actually lighter. Handshaped, then colored with the wine. Made these modern keel fins with left over scrap wood. Actually cut nearly 70% of the weight out of them. Weight of a composite fin glassed-on. Come see the completed board at The Boardroom Show.

I went to order a board Friday and ended up chatting with Wade and Todd, one of Wade’s finishers. Todd glasses R&D boards too.
Todd asked if I saw the single fin channel bottom on IG. I said yeah that’s a beauty. They told me it’s a replica of a Robert August board. The customer took it to another Hawaii shaper but the shaper didn’t want to copy it. So he brought it to Wade. Wade told him he would do it only if the guy called Robert August first and get permission. He got the ok and that’s the end board. Only saw pictures would love to have seen it up close. I’m assuming it’s a wall hanger. Be sick if he actually rides it.
