The first resin coat went on today, we still have to build the fin. Orbulator is Rodntube ( or rather Poohbah) speak for tunnel fin by the way.

It's paulownia wood, hollow with frames.

I'm not sure how it's going to be ridden, maybe standing up, but kneeling or prone might be the best.

The board looks great Roy! looks like a great allround board: for prone, kneeriding and maybe even standup!

Maybe it rides great finless? That way you can chase hollow shorebreak barrels with it!

Thanks Eef, actually the tunnel fin by itself is like riding a board with no fin in some ways, as it can be sideslipped and will roll rail to rail as if there is no fin.

It ust needs some of your artwork !

Very Happy
