Hand-foiled Royal Tubercles

Well the tubercles for Rob Royal’s twinzer for the fish fry are nearly complete… This time i have foiled them much more closely to the actual humpback whale profile, which is an absolute swine as the tubercles are blunt and the foil is between them, but I am really pleased with the results. Got a little finessing to do before they get the glass and halo and then set off to Rob just in time (I hope)…

4 x 4oz + 6mm aircraft birch ply + 4 x 4oz layup and foiling by yours truly.

Buttercup - baby bonzer Porpoise

Resin tint by Jason Grey. Design, shaping and artwork by yours truly, Tim Stafford, for Lilia Grace, age 1yr.

Porpoise bonzer experifintation...

Porpoise has had some fin mods to allow it to be ridden as an EVO4 bonzer quad or an EVO3 bonzer... the terbucle fins are off so that i can make some direct corelations on performance and see just what influence that fin shape had... should be interesting, now we just need waves... and a bit of sanding action from Daz first :)

e-wing foam

Malcolm left a stack of e-wing eggs, octafish and other delights for the UK when he left. Here are  a few. More pics as they go through the factory...

Campbell Bros e-wings

MC/GP bonzer blur

Well Malcolm and Guy came and went in such a blurr that as usual there was never enough time… here’s a few tasters of his visit and I'll be posting pics of some of the boards as they go through the factory over the next weeks…

Guy Penwarden checking out the FreakFish bonzer EVO6… he takes his bonzers seriously…

Malcolm Campbell Bonzer nerve centre… no comment on the use of the tipex thinners!

 

Impossible to get a picture of MC that wasn’t a blur… he sure moves quick for an old guy LOL

I’d like to say we were chatting design, but he was on such a slavishly concocted schedule that i actually had to sneak in and get someone to snap this off whilst he wasn’t looking :)

The Big Green bonzer light vehicle machine ...

Fun to make one of these whilst Malcolm is in the factory - hope to get him to pass a critical eye over it before he heads home... 7'6 Blunt Diamond for Jake...

Wood bonzer EVO5 Cleanline gets rails...

Peter's board took a significant step closer to disappearing into some Caithness crystal today. Mark and I set to work on the rails - it's looking so epic we've decided we need one each (as a demo of course)...
