This a special one off board.
I have cut the blank and glued in a 3/4" hollow chambered balsa stringer. Then recut it and added 2 x 2mm Australian cedar stringers. I've then hand shaped it from a Dion / Barry Bennet blank Ive been saving. Its years old, well cured, super hard foam.
The board has a lot of hidden volume for super easy paddle and wave entry.
Glassed to last by Peter Mo with 6oz bottom and double 6 ounce deck.
Full finish coat top and bottom, fine wet rubbed to 1200 grade.
Set up with 5 x Futures fin boxes.
There is a photo story of the construction on Instagram.
Designed to provide luxurious paddle power, early wave entry, yet ride like a much smaller board , carving tight arcs deep in the pocket.
This classic design is wider than a true gun, with slightly increased nose and tail area and a reduced overall rocker, giving the board a broader wave range than a typical gun. The Coral Reefer will see you right gliding in small surf, or charging full throttle as big as you dare. I apply all my proprietary bottom contours, flex theory and fin placement wisdom into these craft to ensure that when that wave comes, you can commit knowing that the board will come around the corner and find the line. These are incredibly refined boards and they are held tightly by the most discerning and experienced of surfers. They will not let you down…
This Coral Reefer will see you right gliding in small surf, or charging full throttle as big as you dare.
I build these boards strong to handle heavy duty conditions knowing from experience they are the perfect investment for that long-planned overseas trip or the best day of the year at home.
A lifetime board.
