The Baron Project

This one's to a favourite design frst built in 2003. She's 12 feet by 27 inches wide by 2.5 inches thick, with a roundtail, an 8 inch tunnel and a bulb tipped flex fin.The Baron was designed prior to the SUP craze, and as far as I know was one of the first longboard designs to take advantage of widths in the 27 inch range. The widest longboards at the time were no wider than 25 inches and the majority were 21 or 22 inches. Some might call it cheating to make such an incredible wave catcher, but we don't mind ! The board is a prone paddling surfboard which will roast the tail feathers of any SUP, and can reach speeds of over 30mph with ease. Here the planshape has been marked on the paper scroll, and we are adding the lines inside and outside of the planshape, which show where the rail blocking must goThe first blocks and frames being cut and laid out, the wood grain in the blocks and the frames are set at 45 degrees to the centreline
