I wasn't really sure what to call it. I was calling it The Stuka Paipo when it was still on the drawing board, but then I changed my mind about the angles and the length of the straight lines.
Still finishing up the varnish on this one. In theory it will be the greatest thing since the The Fat Penguin.
42 inches long, 15.75 inches widest, 12.75 inchs narrowest.
Yes, the channels are on the deck side.
Materials: 0.5 inch cork on modified Morey wake board (maple?) and
glued with Titebond II glue, Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane.
Probably not legal to carry this board in public in Singapore. |

I was going to name it the "Weinger" model.
The rear rails remind me of the old Holmsey Sidewinder. _________________ rodNDtube

Hate to be obtuse but which end is the nose? How about naming it "Tony"? |

It looks Sweet.
Where did you get the corkboard, and what kind of glue did you use?
I used gorilla glue to try to attach some foam to a plywood board, and it was crap. _________________ "There's a fine line between stupid and clever"
