Skimboard Fiberglass Step #4 Glassing

Getting some good respoonse on the latest of the series, but I am still not done with the board. I am still editing the footage but the next steps to go live are the Resin Floodcoating and the finishing steps. The new resin has some new UV protection so it appears a little blue but all for the good. The UV protection will stop the board from getting yellow in the sun, Nice!! When all is said and done I will take this board out to the Beach in El Granada, right down the street from the Mavericks in HMB and try it out.

This is someting that i have not even touched on in this blog.....skimboard Wax. And yes of course, we make that too. Already have the molds in place to pour a couple of sticks whenever I need it. Lately i have been mixing it up with color an anything else I can drop in while the wax is still curing. The wax is so termed Atomic PUdding. Just don't drink it.

We had the crab feed last weekend and some lucky soul picked up one of my boards. They didn't get the board I was working on, as expected, but they got another from my collection. Along with the board they bought a stick of wax, a T-Shirt and a Red 5 Trucker Hat. I screened it with a new screen that I have not shown on the blog just yet. It's like my new line for 2010 is out and I just haven't had time to put it out there.

The apparel section on the web page is surely lacking, sorry about that. I will have images up soon and a way to purchase. Cold hard cash and paypal are alwyas the perfered methods.

Ok for now...........
