i rode the skywalker 130 x 40 all season and as far as i am concerned, its perfect for all wind conditions.
i believe the flexi board thats been getting rave review around here is the identical size, maybe 1cm difference if that.. i rode in 35 to 40+ in hood river and it was perfect.. anything too small might get squirley.. dont know.. i remember going out a few times on ebones tiny board.. i swear my heels and toes almost stuck over each edge.. the board that Tom made that I've seen is AMAZING.. Tom can you write up a post on all that you had to buy, prep and do to get the results you got? |

Materials are not cheap either but in the end a board costs far less than the price of a commercial board if you do not count your time which includes a lot of manual labor and self abuse (being covered fiberglass dust sucks). That said, I still believe commercial boards are way overpriced but I won't say by how much. I'm not really interested in selling boards or anything at this point (if ever) but since I will be making newer and better boards all the time, I'd be glad to give away older ones to anyone in need of a board as long as they are willing to live with any imperfections they find hah. I don't have any extras right now... but I might in a week or two. Of course I also don't mind making a custom board for a friend when I have time to do it. Trent Hink also makes boards... several guys around here are riding his boards. |

Do you have 27 which are experienced rather than virgins? If so, it's a deal.

haha, you drive a hard bargain! I will go to costa soon and I will return with 27 experienced hookers for you. They will be disease-free and good-looking. Any other requests? Let the sultan know now because, soon, it will be too late.

Boards and boats! Regular craftsman! When are we going to see photos of the sail boat you built? |
