TEMPLATES
I might only shape one or two boards a year.
But when a board comes in for some restoration work
and it is a special looking shape, I'll pull a template off it.
Some of the templates above are taken from
James Kinstle's book
Surfboard Design and Construction.
My current ride,
a 9'6" pig was put together using some of these templates
and a few others not shown.
I might own the templates
but I don't own the designs.
If anyone wants a copy I am more than happy
to make a copy and pass it on.
I'll post images of the boards shortly.
These boards are from the late 60's and 70's.
They are becoming rarer and rarer.
So I think we need to document as much as we can.
This is why I also document all the dimensions etc,
of all the pre 70's boards I restore.
Photos are taken of everything.

FOAM HANDPLANE UPDATE
Bottom lam down.
Red pigment stripe and dot.
With blue tint.
Laps cut.
Its hard enough doing this on a full sized board.
Let alone something 13" long.
Finished.
The legrope plugs are a great idea,
but not mine.
Inspiration came from
My original plan was to use FCS plugs.
Wet and dry finish.
The strap is the double sided Velcro.

`You have to feel for the people living in Queensland.
First the floods.
And now this monster bearing down on the coast
between Cairns and Innisfail.
