Blunt Diamond

Haven’t done an EVO3 in a long time… kind of miss doing these…

Oscar Benedict’s 5’9” EVO6 bonzer

Bonzer Blunt Diamond crossed with a Hornet, and given a new EVO6 configuration using FCS rears for maximum flexibility and inter-changeability… all wrapped up in a very user friendly package with v through the nose, blending into a single concave, into 6 concaves set inside panel V through the fins…
 

Green Giant bonzer light vehicle

Finally finished this bonzer light vehicle… no pics of the light vehicle channels as you all know what they look like right! 7’6 x 23” x 3”…

Instead the focus is on the “impossible spray” admirably handled by Chris “Harry” Harris with direction from yours truly and Jake. The difficulty was masking the circle on a surface curving in all directions, and taping a colour-band and pinline on a curve and around a rail (instead of coming to an apex…) sounds simple? It wasn’t and sent one sprayer off to London questioning their chosen profession. We like to challenge, and Harry was up for it after a little encouragement. The results were great, and a happy customer.

Design, shaping & colour mixing by yours truly, artwork design by Jake, resin tint by Jason, sanding by Daz, spray by “Harry”, polish by Stevie “two-fins”.

Demo blunt diamond…

Was surfing a great little break I call “Scalps” this morning, lovely right reef (don’t ask where) with a few friendly compadres… and one asked about the blunt diamond demo – so if you happen to be reading this post… here’s a pic. It’s just waiting for Daz to polish it. 6’8” x 21 1/8” x 2 5/8” It has a wide tail but foiled through so its easy to bury the rail and the double concave bonzer bottom keeps it really lively and fast. The fin set up is EVO3 with American Hardwood fins by yours truly. resin tint on the bottom. 6oz + 4oz deck with a 6oz bottom with a 4oz fin patch. This one was glassed by Jason. It also has a Go-Pro camera mount on the nose…

EVO 3 bonzer fix

Lucas’s EVO3 Blunt diamond was fixed and looks just as good as the day it was finished. Sadly he lost the fin on impact so not only did I have to redo all the artwork around the fin area but also had to make a new fin. Daz did an excellent job on the sanding/gloss and polish. Cheers.

Busy day…

  Fins ready to  go on the latest FreakFish…

Winds and swell were looking good, so…

checked  the surf down in the Badlands but ended up at Porthmeor…(great peaks!)

 

then raced back to the factory to collect Jack's board ready for him to ride this afternoon… 6’10” EVO3 Blunt Diamond

 

More azure…

More Azure blue rail – resin tint by Jason this time whilst i was in Baja :) – going to get a little artwork before the gloss and polish.

This board will be heading straight to Morocco with Jack almost as soon as it is finished… wish i could hand deliver it!

6’10 Blunt Diamond for Jack L

Foamy foamy

Lucas blunt diamond

This was Lucas’s board finally photographed on a blustery day full of swell at Trevone. 4 hours later he managed to break off one of the EVO3 fins whilst surfing corner at Boobies Bay. He’s gutted and so am I as all the artwork will need to be redone around the fins…
6’6” x 21 3/8” x 2 1/2”

Oli testing his Blunt Diamond

Nice day at Connies Reef… Oli was in perfect position to get caught by Nick of 360 Photography who happily made it across the Camel for this fun session…

Latest board going through – a blunt diamond for Lucas…

Blunt one for Lucas

6’8 x 21 3/3 x 2 1/2 Blunt Diamond EVO3 for Lucas… made this one out of a superlight blank from South Africa… was harder to shape but came up sweet…

Deck channels are a new thing especially for Lucas which should also add strength, decrease weight, and anchor that front foot nicely…
