SouthCoast inkwork for SkinDog Transformer

This was the artwork just after midnight. I finished it at about 1.30am and then got it into Chris the following day for the rest of the spraywork.

The spot is somewhere on the SouthCoast between Southampton and Dover  – those in the know will recognise it I am sure. It’s on the bottom of a SkinDog Transformer.

One of my favourites…

This is an EVO3 Bat tail 6’6” that would suit anyone looking for some performance in a broad range of waves, combined with easy wave catching (without the duck diving difficulties of a wider nose). The spray, tint and artwork are all just classic late 70s. I think it’s beautiful.

Can't believe this board is still sitting in the shop in Trevone.  Let’s hope this post helps this one find a happy home.

Full details on the original post.

 

Roachy’s Riddler – 6’7” EVO5/6 bonzer

6’7” X 20 3/4” X 2 7/8” this Riddler comes a little different to the norm being less barrel oriented, so less V, harder rails for more drive, a little less tail rocker and a thicker foil. Designed for Peter for easy wave catching without the normal nightmare of duck-diving a wide nose egg at somewhere like Polzeath. Set up with EVO 5 fin bonzer and EVO 6 fin bonzer options. A pair of custom wood CRV rears to be sent as soon as my blasted pinkie heals (yes it’s still a mess and not surfing or power tools for a while longer – sorry Pete!).

 

Hope to have a review from Roachy in the near future.

Malcolm with Peace

Last autumn Malcolm shaped me a 6’8” Octafish Bonzer… after a run up the Freeway with Tim Elsner for Malcolm’s personal inspection, Peace flew to Baja with Steve Jacobi to await my arrival – only to be thwarted by Immigration who didn’t like the lack of chevrons on Vicky’s passport. The board is still in Mexico but we will finally be united this December for some winter waves at Cassa Jacobi.

FOR SALE 6’6” Bat Tail bonzer EVO3 “One Love”

6’6” x 21 1/8” x 2 1/2” Bat Tail bonzer EVO3 For sale at Rocky Point Surfshop in Trevone.
“One Love”? This board is tinted and sprayed in memory of my times in Jamaica and carries in their national colours, green black and gold.
   
This shape was designed for people looking for a high wave count shortboard without the compromises of a fish. It will suit bonzer lovers who enjoyed the original Bumblebee but wanted a bit more performance and will also be the perfect first shortboard an intermediate surfer looking to improve their basics.
The wide template combines with a straighter rail in the tail, creating a board that will change direction radically, perfect for top-to-bottom surfing. If you want to improve your bottom turns this board will help, dishing out bags of rewards every time you get it right. The bat tail provides extra bite when landing floaters as well as keeping the tail wide for easy wave catching and glide through flat sections.
This board will happily ride from waist high to well overhead, just move the rear fin back a touch as the size increases.
Ride and glide…

One of my all time favourites

Rabbit, 1979, with his classic Hot Stuff squash tail single fin… an epic plan shape and an epic spray… I have this in mind for one of my boards in the near future.
