Haven't posted anything for an age! Been busy on the farm. I have however made a few bits and pieces.... With Piripi and the rest of his Rawiri clan leaving us for Indonesia for a couple of years I received a few boards - in all different states of repair!  have two nice L44 boards that Piripi broke in half while new. One is repaired and being surfed by Lauren Ambler, the other glued and waiting for some sticky stuff. Another couple have torn out leash plugs and various dings repaired and ready for the Hokianga kids to get out on them. - Will add pics
I now have foam !!!! 
Ready for starting work is a paipo - a 5'8" simmons - and a 6'4" for uncle Rod,
 Sick of his longboard, but struggling with the shortboard, he will shortly have a pretty high volume hydro simmons, 6'4", full concave from nose to tail, hydro type hull.  16mm rail build, 3mm planks top and bottom and a 4 ounce layup in epoxy - the eco sap stuff, forgotten what its called. board set up as quad/thruster - five fin.
Pics have come out funny due to the fish eye camera view, the board is actually quite straight.
timber is  Japanese cedar.
