The Evolution of a Board

From this...

The Bennett Blank




TO THIS:

Ok, so.. after a little contemplation I decided on a checkerboard design with some cool 80s vibe, though I had no idea it was going to be as much work as it ended up being...

Started by taping it up criss-cross

Then, I cut out every other square, to give it the checkerboard effect...

then comes the paint... by air gun... orange fading into red

Starting to remove the tape...

...getting closer

Peeling off every little square was actually a lot of work...

Then, to the bottom...
I wanted to do a rising sun-type design, and this is how it came out...

After all that work, I was pretty excited to get her out in the water...


...and in case you were wondering, she rides like a dream.



P.S. Now taking custom orders!
