MINI SIMMONS PROJECT

Lesley Adamski is better known for her timber boards.
See here and here
Lesley recently got hold of the remains of a snapped mal.
Which had been snapped and repaired twice before
and went to work patching together the foam
to build a Mini Simmons. 

I'm gluing it up.

Hopefully I'll be able to post images as the project advances.

WASARESCUEBOARD 3 UPDATE

Finished at last.
8'1" x 21 1/2" x 3"
 N 17 3/4"
T 14 3/4"
Wide point 6" fwd of middle.

The fin is 10 1/2" x 6 1/2"
The trailing edge is 13" up.
I think it may have to much base.
I need to start somewhere.
I can allways make it smaller.

Some flex.

With the 6'6" I made over the Christmas break.
