My ugly, noobie probox twinny is nearly done!!

Thanks guys, the spray looked better in my head than on the foam!!. Its a bit 80's. I thought i'd cover it with blue tint and pigment, but it came out lighter than i thought. Despite its ugliness, im keen to resin those boxes in, whack on a hotcoat n ride the thing!!

Why "Tron Twinny" ??

Rooster i can run her ragged for an hour non stop. Get home, she's buggered..... for about 5 minutes hahah. It's only diesel trains ( we live behind a train line ), helicopters ( there's an airport less than a kilometre away ) and whipper snippers ( our elderly neighbours mow their lawn obsessively ), so its a bit of bad luck as well. She is an excellent dog, and when we did obedience, she ( and the male ) loved it and excelled without trying. They are smart dogs that's for sure.

We have had the bark busting people out a few times, but it takes a lot of time, and when you have 2 young kids, and one in the oven, its hard to find the time. Really she isn;t that bad, we just want her to be better. Although, no matter how bad she gets, we could never get rid of her. I must say, the older she gets, the more settled she is.

Back to the twinny!!, im hoping to surf it by the end of april. I'll update with a ride report.

Cheers guys

Hey ben has your stuff arrived yet??. Can't wait!!!!!

I got the resin yesterday, but im working the nxt 2 days. Friday im gunna glass em in, woo hoo!!.

So, i just glassed in the proboxes. So easy, i didn't even need the stickers. Too good larry, great system.

Bit blurry but, here are a few pics of after i pulled the jigs off.

Nuclearfission, i dont know yet, but possibly. I got a feeling i might struggle to handle the "looseness" of it, so i may have to put a trailing fin box in, but i'll try it as it is first.

Greenlight, NuclearF, thanks for the tips, im never in a hurry, so i'll take it slowly so i dont affect the bond.

The back of the fin is 7 1/2'' from the tail. I can move them forward though.

Getting excited!!. i wanted something with good float, and grovelling capacity ( it's 2 7/8" ), but more manouverable ( free? ) than my keel fish. I also put the widepoint just behind centre, and went with a 15''nose, and 16'' pulled in tail.

Hanging to try this sucker!!!!!!!

Thanks mate, but i spent my last money on beer related stuff. I have enough steriliser ( agricultural grade!! ) to last me a lifetime though haha.

Here's some progress pics after sanding them down. Just a hotcoat and a leash plug, and its seaworthy ( don't sue me nathan! ). Just wish we had something to surf, it was embarrassing surfing this morning, and im a first class grovellor. You know its bad when you spin the board around to get a wave and the tail of the board bottoms out on the sand hahaha

Im not the greatest sander as you can see but its smooth enough to get me in the water, and i dont wanna risk a sand through.

In the last pic, you can see where the router got away from me!!.

Cheers, hope to have a ride report by next weekend. I will also post pics of the deck. You are going to laugh so hard at my bodgy swirl, and acrylic paint pinlines. They're terrible haha. Lucky i surf mostly early morning midweek!!

Im definately stoked about it, just making a small modification!!. The waves were pretty ordinary,and hey, it's the first surf on a new board so i need to give it a few surfs to get used to it. The tail rail is fairly round though, so im keen to put an edge there anyway, nearly done sanding!

Larry, i'll have to try to get some off foamhead if i can get some cash together.
