My ugly, noobie probox twinny is nearly done!!
My ugly, noobie probox twinny is nearly done!!
Ok, ignore the spray job, and im pretty embarrassed by my dodgy deck resin swirl and acrylic pinlines ( no pic yet coz it needs a hotcoat ), but here's a few pics of it. I just routed the holes for the proboxes, and im just waiting on my resin, then i can put them in. I routed the jig on the first one, but the second one went pretty well. Im hanging to ride it, but i think its above my skill level, so i may end up putting in a centre plug for a trailing fin.
As you can see im a pretty ordinary board builder, but i like riding my own.
You can see my border collie in the background. She's on doggy ADD medicine coz of her obsessive barking. Doesnt make one iota of difference, but hey, my vet drives a nice big 4x4, so he has to pay for it somehow!!
Surfing for me is mostly two turns and a wipeout

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" ??

Thanks mate, im definately a convert to probox. You almost can't stuff up the install, and i really like how the box is located on the bottom of the board by the jig, which means when the resin goes in, the box is perfectly aligned, no stuffing around with tape etc, and you know the fins going in the right spot.
I wont be making anymore boards for a while, but when i do ( and i will!! ) i'll be using proboxes for sure.

Hey Beerfan,
Looks like a fun board. Don't forget to take the jigs off before you surf it. Kidding.
I love those nutty dogs. Got to run the shit out of them and that makes them almost tolerable. No meds. Run, run, run. Take him with you whenever you can and you'll not have a better companion. Our border collie went through about 400 dollars in seat belts. I don't know how many zippers she has destroyed. Loves to eat zippers for some reason. Ours was the fastest dog on the beach when she was in her prime. Mike

I like the paint job on the bottom. The fin placement looks perfect to make it in to a quad !!!!
