Po
Right and Left

Haven't posted in anything in a while so here is a quick one of KK'S 'Model Po' getting prepped for glassing.
This log is number 195; getting close to the 200 mark
Not bad when you hand shape and glass every single board that walks out the door
I have been making plenty of boards lately and there is plenty more to come
Shoot me an email if you want to make one of these custom handmade boards your own
Baby Looks Mean
There is something about stringerless longboards that just looks mean
I've used tow blank foam with double 6oz Volan glass on both sides which carries the same weight as my standard logs (approx 10kg). Although stringerless boards have a reputation for being weak, this, like all my logs, is made to last.
This foam can have an abundance of variations so next time your thinking of having a coffee with me to talk boards, consider the stringerless option
Ill be making this outline a model as soon a i think of a 'cool' name.
Most likely something inherently Bondi
-9'6 x 18 x 23 1/4 x 16 x 3-
Purple
Meeting the median of the NoseRider and Model Po that kills it on the nose
Encompassing a Tear drop concave, thin rails that extend throughout and a nice dose of deck concave.
You'll be seeing a lot more of this model in the near future
FYI
Its going to be glass on fins only for this one.....5 Week turnaround for customs
Gillo with his new JD model and the Bondi Long boarders Club 50 - 56yrs championship trophy
This is pretty much the most competitive devision in the whole club.
And he did it all on his collection of Waxa's
Yewww
Comps on next Sunday if you feel like talking boards with a bunch of 'young at heart' dudes
My new Log
Having been backed up with orders for the last 15 Months, i've never had a chance to make this board for myself
This is my next move from the 'Model Po', i've kept the nose concave shallow and defined like the Po while adding 3'/4 to the tail width. Increasing curve to the tail will add better turning off the tail and stability to combat the glass on 10.5' flex fin. This is combined with thinnly foiled rails creating speed and more bite off the tail than your average Log
A new feature to this model will be a 1/16" concave on the deck at the tail. This creates drag and locks the board in while riding the nose and doesn't interrupt trim when riding from the middle and tail.
I've got a good feeling about this one, my regulars have already ordered a couple after listening to me hype on about it incessantly for the last two months
More Photos, Fins, Glassing and Model Name to Come next week
FYI
March and April Still Open for orders
Shoot me an email if you want to know more
Due to my circumstances and a much needed change, i will be limiting the amount of boards i do from the beginning of 2013. This will enable me to maintain the boards being made by myself completely in house, using the highest quality materials and delivering a better custom service with each waxa custom order.
So while I'm on a roll
Give me a call and order your summer log
