ive decided to name this board after the jumping shark
its 20 1/4  6 foot 4
16 tail and wide nose
thickness is 2 1/4 with highperf rail shape
tail is thin as  for flex pop

deck is 3mm balsa/paulownia combo
bottom is airex
3oz under skins

this board is a flextail board hence the jumping shark
it has a bonzerish oultine and will be setup with fcs
quad with 3 and 5 options

basically same as the last one but with better flex and less volume
the pop/flex on this one is killer

it took about 4 1/2 hours to get to this stage
maybe less
no power tools other then hotwire and pump
made on the trusty old keyboard stand with blockplane,surform and sanding block

the ring is one i made yeserday *got a new camera
the dude is jeremey whom i help make boards with his new stick about to fly to indo
the waves is a sample of everydday this week
had that to myself about 10 to 12 foot faces

its amazing what you can achieve in a week when not hanging out at swaylocks
and that includes the board and the 2 surfs

[paul cannon]

sorry  i know its not compsand related
but theres no rule
so here goes
i didnt do the green wax this week but wanted to show what you can do with a chizels and files by hand
love that blue topaz (wife got that one)

[paul cannon]

yeah shoulda got a camera 16 years ago lol
when i think of all the rich pricks that have taken credit for my work
i feel sick

this one is a step by step on the ring at the top
took about 10 hours i think ill post one of it set another time

[paul cannon]

last few steps of the first ring i showed at the top of the page
and my immaculate bench
photographic memory knows where everything is unless someone moves it 1 inch to the left lol

shit, you've got some skill mate....

Jealous of the waves too!
I've managed to miss the only waves that have been on offer recently.

[paul cannon]

come down here bro and we can do swapsies in the surf

[paul cannon]

some more

[paul cannon]

heres that diamond cluster being set and finished

[paul cannon]

old wood bowl i made and tried a bit of carving on
and a very firwireish looking surfboard compsand bottom
and a well worn knife  i made years ago( ive made heaps of folding  pocket knives etc)

[paul cannon]

another wax carving
this paua pearl pendant was 3  hours from alloying the gold to set and polished
so i got paid 100$ on a 1300 hundred dollar piece
the price you pay for uncrowded waves

[paul cannon]

these are the unrowded wave im talking about
this was after 3 surfs starting from dawn
it had gone a bit mushy with the low tide and light onshores
but it was fairly pumping before i got out
comparable to superbank
only a couple out

[paul cannon]

and the empty left all day
