Dirtwheels the Magician
 

Hey Chris-
Once again outstanding work! Hope to see you and Sternrider on my next trip, but nothing planned yet.

Patent pending threaded rigging tube, tube. Always on the quest for a better mousetrap, and eliminating plastic and fasteners!

Thats very cool...did you use the rigging tube as the mold? inquiring minds want to know...

strick

Yep just slid a pvc pipe inside to keep it rigid and waxed it up. I hate those plastic flanges

More fairing and high build... Another round of board sanding and some 545 next.

Man you got those chines sharp!
All hand work?

On those yea... Made some sanding blocks that matched the deadrise.

The rest of the bottom is mostly longboards with an 8" DA and air file mixed in. Constantly checking with straightedges in all directions. It's "blueprinted" as they say.

Hullsides all handblocked. Dont want it looking like a funhouse mirror ya know...

He's crafty like that. He makes one off boards. Makes perfect sense when you have
foam scraps you can put to good use.

He would have been a great sculptor in Roman times.

Hbout this puppy?! Done with it now fortunately...
