I should be surfing right now, but I'm stuck in Colorado. Luckily my friends own a SUP company (Badfish) and my bro has his shop downtown!!!!!
Well, if I can't be surfing right now, I might as well be making a surfboard to try when I do. Here is what I have come with so far. I'm putting the fin box setup in late this morning, then start glassing in the evening, or tomorrow.
Its my new fun board. That is, unless it surfs like sh#t and goes on my wall as a "nice try" kind of thing. Sure is a good time though, and I think I'm learning more about surfboards in 3 weeks than I have in 15 years.
Love all the photos to keep the stoke folks. Thanks!!!!

Nice channels! You gonna do a thruster or bonzer fin configuration?
Also, I must be old or lazy, 'cause that board looks about 3' short to be a funboard to me!
The board I built:
The one that never "kicked", after reglassing in the summer

Thruster. I don't have the measurements, but its more of a modern fun board. Its wide as hell and holds a lot of volume. Instead of stretched out its stubby (at 6'3!!!) and is thick. I will post accurate measurements once I f*#k up putting the fin boxes in. Ha!!!!!!! I designed the board to be a bit less bulky than my Hynson White Knight 6'6 which has just a bit too much volume for my light ass.
Cool fish!

North shores Maui – Moderate northeast swell through this weekend, although gradually dropping…into the first part of the new week. A large northwest swell will arrive next Wednesday, followed by what the NWS is calling a “dangerously large” NW swell by next Thursday night into Friday – requiring a high surf warning on both north and west shores!

I'm "Stoked!" to see so much activity on this thread lately!
I am still nursing a very sore arm and I am finding that rest is the only thing that seems to help. I am getting some sessions in but I am being very selective with the conditions and length of my sessions.
I had to blow off two big wave light air wave sailing sessions last week because because I knew that I would be hurting after all that slogging. After all I am an elder and have proved my self in battle many times. I like to feel with age comes wisdom and when it doesn't feel right don't do it. I was ready to paddle out at Kanaha yesterday but the conditions didn't look all that great and there was also a tiger shark sighting reported so I blew it off.
A very cool thing happened this week here in my back yard.
John John Florence and some of his North Shore Oahu crew came over to play with Albie Layer,Matt Meola and the rest of the Maui Air Force and I was lucky to catch two of their evening sessions at Lanes. The waves were rather small but they made the most of it.
I shot a bunch of stuff but here's one of John John's waves.

Fun to see this post here.
My three greatest passions in life are climbing, surfing and fly-fishing (specifically tenkara). I lived on the coast until very recently. For a couple of years, many years ago, I lived in Santa Barbara, CA. That was the most conducive place to do both climbing and surfing. I either surfed or climbing every other day depending on weather and swells. It was tons of fun to do both. And, I found them complementary since I wasn't over-doing either, but using different muscles and joints.
I just moved to Colorado a year ago, so no surfing for me. I miss it a bunch sometimes. Though I also go through periods when one activity seems to take priority in my life, and climbing is the main thing for me at the moment.
However, I already learned I can surf on the Colorado river (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU3RGkomCoc. There is climbing near there. And, there obviously is some fishing opportunity there too. So, this Spring I'll try doing a triathlon of climbing, surfing and tenkara!
