USS VanBergen


We're Back!!
We're bigger...better ...and hopefullly, more diligent
:)

Here's a project that I started at the end of November for my friend Kyle VanBergen, who is also our graphic designer.

He wanted a touring stand-up board which is something I have only thought about but never had an opportunity to put to work.

Beginning: A 10'6",  2 lb EPS SUP blank for wave-riding.

sooooo.....

here's the challenge....

... to modify, create and re-create!!






 Blank


After templating using the outside whale ribs, they were cut and clamped together.


This view shows how thick the added foam was.


After clamping, they were shaped to fit front third rocker to remove the rocker and create a flat entry.
Following me?


The clamping and gluing rough cut version.


Rough templated and no mo rocker.


Cleaned up and roughed in.


Front Deck.
(not showing all bottom secrets. yet:)


The whole outline.


First Bottom Lamination.


Good overview of bottom.
Dark spot is not a shadow but will be explained later.

To Be Continued.

Happy First Post of 2011.
