it worked!!!! paddling into waves was easy as pie. once i was up it was zip zip down the line and off the top and off the bottom. repeat, repeat, repeat!
after a week of trying different paint applications i think i found the one i like. to get these lines perfectly curved and spaced apart is no easy task. now i will wait and see how well the pinlines show up after the lamination. it might not be as vibrant but will still add a little pop to the shape. i might start the lay-up this weekend if i can fit it in between a baby shower and a bike ride with the family. the hangnail is on!
the hang nail is coming along nicely. i have a good feeling about this board. could it be magic?
started another board the other day and i'm digging the shape. i have decided to name this the hangnail. it's a 6'2"X20 1/2"X2 5/8" quad. at least that is the plan.
mark h. came over to check out my board and asked if i had taken any photos of my board. he was right on, the light was good and he thinks the board looks good as well. only a month until the hangnail gets some warm water splashed on it! viva el salvador
jig, router, and some spray adhesive= good times. i spent most of the afternoon trying to figure out the quad fin cluster. reading, looking, reading, looking some more. up the stairs, down the stairs. i think i found a happy medium from all the crap(info) that i have been taking in the last couple of days. time will tell........if i made the right choices.

got to work on the board a little today. i very pleased with the fabric inlay. it came out clean and the color didn't bleed with the epoxy. so it's off to lamination in the next couple of days.
