Made to be finned or finless , will have to wait and see how she goes.
6ft 6" x 22" and 1.5" on the stringer
The nose is inspired by a Greenough spoon , hull entry and full length concave.
The tail is inspired by the Alaia and flaired rails like a body board
It all blends together to make an interesting fun board. The fins are 6" long and 2" tall 5" up from the tail.
Full concave deck and side cut rail line.Some ideas I have had an thought why not just build it and see how she come out.
I shaped this 5ft 4" x 22.5" Mini Simmons for a mate of mine Shane
All ready for the Fish Fry next weekendRyan Lovelace - InnerViews from www.KORDUROY.tv on Vimeo.
When it comes to going the extra mile and effort for the Fish Fry , Roger surely sets the bar pretty high.Here below is the workings of his latest board for this years Fish Fry.
A combination of foam and wood like you have never seen. As if it is not hard enough to work with the differing densities of a variety of timbers and then to add the foam as well.
How the resin brings it all to life...
A sanding nightmare for most of us , but just something to be done for Roger.
Roger builds beautiful detailed custom boards all day and this is him just stepping it up for the Fish Fry in his own way. Mate my hat goes off to you once again and like everyone I can't wait to see it in all it's glory next week.
A lot of planning and time goes into a project like this especially when you are running a small team building great boards all day. Check out what Roger calls his regular boards :
Well it is two weeks away and summer surely is upon us. The water today was 26.5c on the life guards board at the beach this morning and 34c in the shade on my back deck this afternoon.
You have to love the resin tints that the fish has brought back to boards and hand foiled fins as well.
This is a shot taken buy Danny Hess's wife Erin in 2007, the first Fish Fry.A great outlook from the park across the road to the beach.

This is the sort of boards that will be at the Fish Fry in a couple of weeks.I know of a number of guys who are building boards especially for the day. Which is unreal ans shows the commitment out there. Thanks Andy for the effort and support .
Just got these great shots from Stephane Guillaume in France of his new board shaped by Terry Surfboards in Biarritz.
Just love the graphics and all the colour , very different I must say.
If you want to know more about this or organise a trip over for the event contact Rob Lion at :
Sergio treats his fish as if it was a religion...
He loves colour and does great resin work to compliment his shapes
I first met Sergio Gomez when he came to the Fish Fry a couple of years ago with Roger hall from New Zealand where he had been working with Roger at Surfline Surfboards.He is a great guy and a great shaper. Not long after he headed off to France where he has set up business and continues to shape and live.If you are over that way and want a nice board he will look after you.
Ryan Lovelace from Point Concept Surfboards in Santa Barbara will be here for the Fish Fry and is available to shape you a board while he is here.Check out his sites to see what he builds :
Skip Frye the master with a board to glide the point and slide the bay.
John Cherry shapes a great board and the finest fins to go with them.
It would be great to have both of these gentlemen join us at the Fry one year. They sure have inspired me over the years.
