North Atlantic Right Board
This is my new Long(ish)board… it finally graced the waves last weekend and what a baptism. I LOVE this board, everything from the shape and tint to the accidental resin bleeds on the nose concave panel.
I was surfing a right hand reef at about head-high. This is probably the easiest wave catcher i have ever had and the board was so manoeuvrable and drivey i really did wonder whether I would ever bother with a shortboard again (which i did later this week but that’s another review).
It delivered in every area. Even roundhouse cutbacks, which on an 8’10 for a shortboarder is saying something. I even had a few cover-ups as the board rode so beautifully high and tight in the pocket. I guess it further reinforces my belief that asymmetrics really are the best way to go.

80 grit…
Just been attacking the “Longish” with 80 grit… sanding really is an overlooked art… so easy to sand through and create a weak point on the rail;. I like the way Daz has been showing me to do this one, he calls it an Australian Hot coat… just do the rails and fins… then finish with a gloss coat. Hope to have this one ready for pinlines and ink by the end of the week with any luck.

Hot
Today’s hot coat on the asymmetric long(ish)… laps only. These will be sanded back before a final gloss coat… all in the interests of reduced weight but equal strength.
Going to be a logo free deck with a little ink on it…

In search of lost weight…
I am taking a masterclass in hotcoating and sanding from Daz at the moment with a view to shedding significant weight on my new Long(ish) board…

Sky tint on Outer Limits spiral-V Legacy
Well the cat is poking his head out of the bag… this is the first Outer Limits board in over 30 years. There wont be many, just 25 and all custom orders. Drop me an email if you are interested.
Full story on this collaboration coming soon.
Jason (glassing) used to work with Martin back when he was a young’un learning the ropes,so was stoked to be working on an Outer Limits. Jase threw up one dilemma though – fixed fin or box? Heart says fixed, head says box!
