Glassing the boards


Scott made his first board with us about 3 or 4 years ago and returns every year to help out with the glassing. Here he helps Derek put the bottom layer on his board. Derek is going with an all white board.
The glass job on Derek's board turned out great.


Mac and Oli decided to add a yellow and red tint to this board. With a little bit of resin mixed in they were ready to paint.

Before we began laminating, the boys laid down their colors on the bottom of the board.



As always, the laps are a critical part of the process. You want wet laps, tucked under clean with no folds or bubbles. As I finish laminating, Mac follows behind making sure the laps are taken care of.

We have a great time with the laminates. This is Ben's board with his new logo. When he makes it big time I hope he sends us some T-shirts!!
