I brought back two surfboard from my Hawaii trip.
Length is 9’4”.
Width is 22 3/4”
Thickness is 3 1/16”
It is made by Surftech using Flax fiber.
It’s more of a pig shape with the wide point back of center. It has a really tapered out half moon tail.
Nose is quite squared off. Can’t see it, but there’s a nice concave.
Time to wax up !!
I didn’t have any Base Coat, so went with Tropical.
Diagonal lines using the long edge of the wax bar.
Then diagonal lines the opposite way.
I tried to keep the lines tightly together.
Then change to Cool Water wax.
Rail to Rail. Nose to Tail.
Then make light circle patterns first counter-clockwise, then go back clockwise.
What do you think ? Well, remember, most of it will get rubbed off during the first surf anyways.
Don’t know who Wayne Rich is ?
Do you know who Joel Tudor is ? Wayne shaped boards for Joel.
Do you own a C.I. Log ? ( Channel Island Al Merrick brand ) C.I. rider Devon Howard worked with Wayne Rich to produce the log model for C.I.
Next question is what fin to go with ? Hmmmm ……
