Post your Hull pictures Second Thread

Posted: June 2, 2008 - 6:41am

Hopefully the discussion can continue in a positive manner. I have enjoyed lurking on the original thread for some time!! I will post pics of my new find a late 60's 7'6 Hull. Unsure of shaper due to a new gel coat. Board has an original Greenough 4a WAVESET fin- it is 7'6 in length- about 2.75 thick with pinched 50/50 rails

good to see we're up and running again.

Smoothie -- for a late 60s board, it looks in rather good shape!

The Fishull 1 glassed and christented in 1-2 foot dribble. At this point all I can say is that it floats.

Oh yeah...3" (nose rocker)+(S-deck)+(pulled nose)=Pearl Diver.

I wish I had some connection to USC to justify those colors...in fact I can't stand those guys (Go Gaucho's).

Lee: why did you go with high-aspect fins instead of keels? Looks awesome though ... can't wait to hear how she rides in real stuff!

"Keels are in the mail!" or so I've been told.

Rails are typical "hull" but not as pinched. Due to poor planning by me on the blank/rocker/length front, the hull ended up right around the middle of the board rather than up towards the bow.

Congratulations Lee, you got 'er done. Looks nice. The keel fins will make a difference. Wouldn't it be nice if as soon as you got the board ready there was actually some surf? The wait can drive you nuts.
