post Hull pics

I'm throwing this one in although most folks have seen this Liddle before. 7'2" 17" X 23" (up 7" from middle)X 15" X 3". I use a 9" Liddle flex around 12.5 inches up from the tail (measured from the back of the fin at the box). I ride in San Diego and the board needs a wave with little base to really turn on. I've only got it to 5th gear once or twice.

Unfortunately, you can't glean much info about a hull from a photo. You need to see one in person and run your hands over them, drag a straight edge along the bottom, etc. The differences between a Liddle and say a Paul Gross are really too subtle to see.

9n78w if thats what your lookin for call me 818 347 8327 what area are you in?

Hi Jason,

These are the same that I sent to you earlier.

does a 6'8" V1 cooperdesign count as a hull?

Kirk
have you gotten any more in or do you have some more coming?
thanks

Hey choch, Liddle just sent a couple more and said the blank problem is slowly getting better in the islands so more comin soon. Dennis nice job! looks good.

I'd be interested to see what the current malibu foil looks like (Malibu foil 2 ?). I have a foil, but it has enough tail rocker that I wouldn't rightly regard it as being hull-like, at least not in comparision to my liddles ..

SrPato,
Thanks for the nice comments. My standard lamination for the hulls are with 7.5oz volan with 4oz tail patch on bottom. 7.5oz volan and full 4oz deck. 10" glass in fin box and special hand sanded finish.

D.R.

This is a 6'6" poly blank made by Elova foam. I glassed it myself with epoxy (fiberglass hawaii brand). I just started lamenating my own boards and epoxy is really user freindly thanx to everything ive read on this site.
anyway, the tail is 16 1/8, mid 21 7/8, nose 18. 2 3/4 thick. Super thin rails. Greenough 9.5 4 C fin. The hull has a pretty subtle dome to it which becomes almost flat in the tail. My buddy convinced my to do a little concave in the nose. Ive ridden it 3 times in the past week since completion about 7 days ago. I'm still working on sticking those deep bottom turns. The board seems to go fastest when you are letting it trim on its own. It is also most fun when the waves are juicy. The more hollow the better. It has only slid out twice and i'm pretty sure both times could have been avoided. So far it is really fun. I really want to get some bigger surf on it to see how it will work.

Try again ..

Nope, a 9'2. Picked up via the good folks at Mollusk Surf in San Fran just after blank Monday. It has been on the rack for a while and I kept looking at it; when Clark rolled over, I figured I'd better pick it up quick.

Btw, John (Mollusk - really good guy) had some nice Liddles on the rack last time I was in there - including a peach of a yellow inbetweener, so for folks near to SF, it's a good place to oogle the hulls. He also had some Andreni hulls - all worth looking at. Just a quick pimp for the man.

Last time I was in there I told John it was like going into the candy store when I was 6 and he said that was the intention :)

According to Dickie Hoole, GG was in the process of some computer stuff to Innermost, when the computer crashed!! That ended that. It may be a while before the DVD gets out there.

Roger, I talked to GG and its back on track IMLPF will be cleaned up and some footage that never made it will be added and 4 or 5 new short films GGs been workin on also some new comments by GG . Josh the movie was a BIG!! influence on the Hull shapers .

sorry guys will get a few pics of Klaus Jone's hand made hull up today the image size I have it in is way to large. Nothing beats hand made craftmenship start to finish . Klaus is so passionate about his board building that he is a dying breed of builder. Hope you boys up north are ready to see some beautiful blades and yes they will be worth the price!!

The dividing line between surfcraft builders.

An intensely personal expression reflecting the inspiration, dedication and sacrifice to consistently create a unified whole... the very best. A dying breed for sure.

it is a double stringer red cedar 1/16th

handmade-the only way to fly!!!
