BOARD #3, THE GLIDER v2.0

hey again!

its been a while, but i was busy.
i ve been working on adding some t shirts to the trim movement cause it was just way too freezing to be shaping.

it got a bit warmer now so heres Glider #2:

exactly the same dimensions as the first one but i tried different rails and bottom.
a lotta thanks to vasco from nereus kinesis (http://nereuskinesis.blogspot.com) for his feedback and help with the rails!!!
muito obrigado! e a linha (cascais) é muito bonita, mas aventurosa!!

enjoy!











my girl anna took a couple pics, yes thats me, sorry! :-)







ok, as mentioned earlier im working on some T shirt designs, i know i should better practice shaping. but its fun.

next board will be a 6`0 round tail singlefin disc for my girl. then a 6`3 roundtail singlefin for my friend el Buberino and a 6`5 singlefin for matthias.
so alltogether its 6 boards for the first batch.
thanks everyone for trusting me to turn your money into somethink surfable :-)

when everything is shaped and packed up, i ll jump in the car and drive down to bordeaux to get the blanks to the glasser, chacal (http://shaggyshack.blogspot.com), hes doing some massive resin art so check his blog out. im really looking forward to meeting him and get to see alexandre from barrel surfboards ( he does some massive foam art all the time basically. :-) ) again.
maybe there are some water hills too for me to slide on a bit. its been a while since i got wet, let me think....8 month? thats a long time.

thanks for reading.

take care,

trim chris
