This one is a little more Boogie Boardish for my taste but the old saying applies, "The customer is always right." We did have fun making the nose and tail blocks. This one goes to a customer in Virginia Beach that surfs 1st Street all the time.

Rod & Crew- I had fun surfing on the "Lunch Tray" team during the March of Dimes contest. Thanks for the invitation. I hope I didn't let the team down.

The woodwork is simply beautiful!
Is that a large center fin box? What kind of fin does the rider use?
P.S. It was great having you on "Team Lunch Tray" at the Ride for a Cause contest. Super event! _________________ rodNDtube

Incredible high quality piece of craftmanship !
The rails look very soft. Do they bite enough in the wave face to use the board without a fin ? _________________ Frogsurfer |

Here are a few more we just finished.
All of them are done with pigment and no airbrush. Disreguard Austins reflection in the pictures. I guess that means they are pretty shiny
Rod I think the guy is using like a 6" center fin.

Hey thierry,
Yeah definitely that board the rails were a little soft but it was what the customer wanted. Our typical Paipos have a lot harder rails towards the rear than that model.
