So anybody who knows me, I always have surfboard projects in various stages of completion. This year is no different. So I thought I would post some photo's of this years projects. All of these boards I glued, handshaped, airbrushed, and glassed. Many started as one thing and became an other. With three more months left, I may squeeze in a couple more.
Dissect Series
A couple of years ago, I began a new project. I started to cut up some perfectly good surfboard blanks. Cutting and re-gluing them into an entirely different shape than they were intended to be. I began to call these boards "Dissects". As in dissecting them into pieces. Just like that frog you cut up in Biology class. Only I put them back together. For example, some started out as a long-board blank, and became a gun instead. Others were a gun blank and became a fish.
Missing from this thread are, Race Paddleboard, Aysemmetricals, Agave boards. Maybe another thread.
Gotta respect the total package builders. You are the exception in that you do it all very well. Very inspirational as usual.
Super cool stuff Barry. Glad to see someone who is having fun making boards for a living instead of complaining. Keep up the awesome work and the cool posts that inspire us all.

Could we be a wittiness to the reincarnation of Tesla as a builder of Boards?
According to Mikki Dora Malibu went to the Dogs in 1964. The Chumash Indians will tell you it was 1664.

Damn, those are nice boards, especially that little rounded pintail (bonzer?) with the kind of exponentially progressive spaced sections.
Is that wide stringer agave?
Exceptional. Thanks for sharing!

What an inspiration!!! Awesome! How the hell did you do those rails that flow from orange to lime back to orange. Understand if that is a "trade secret"! Simply awesome!
