Nice Greg!!

This one would probably fit me best as well. Nice work.

Nice work. I've always admired your boards.

One of the best boards I've ever owned was a 9'2 T&C longboard by you. It has a beautiful blue airbrush and glass FCS thrusters. I stupidly sold it on craigslist to an infamous Kailua surfboard shop owner/flipper for some reason. Still regret it 13 years later.

 

[griffinsurfboard]

I had these made for T&C around 2006

 

[Muscles]

Wow. Those were the fins the board had. The board was a performance longboard design from that era with thin rails and a pulled in tail. I bought it from a military guy on craigslist who said he wanted to learn to surf and quit after his second try.

 

[JBerry]

Nice Palace and sleds!
What part of shaping do you use the 2 grinders for?

 

[griffinsurfboard]

Starting the swallow tail and finishing the ends of DSD cuts , I use both DSD and Shape 3D

GG,
You say you use the DSD and Shape 3D software/machines for your cuts.
What, in your experiences, would you say are the differences/comparisons-positives/negatives between the both,
and, why and how do they compare with the APS/AKU machine and software?

 

[griffinsurfboard]

Main thing is how the machine is being run

The DSD cut is more work to finish , but if its more consistent and problem free that's the one I favor

Shape 3D cuts on most machines are more finished , APS , AKU , KKL type etc.

AKU program produces a similar finish

Best run machine wins

 

[JBerry]

Do either of those machines cut your channels? swallow tails?
just curious really as to how refined those machines work, compared to the APS, which I am familiar with. thx

 

[griffinsurfboard]

Nope , Ive seen Dane Hanz do channels with his 3dm machine and we have seen Wayne do them

I would rather do them by hand.

As a longboarder, I like the Russ K model better. Com'n Greg, dish out your fin placement theory.
