Cutting edge surfboards of the future: Chieftain.

If you’ve spent much time riding ocean waves , you’ve seen one fateful failure: most surfing boards lack any semblance of uniqueness.  While the sea may be filled with countless cookie-cutter surfboards, there are some designs which stand out strongly.



The old woodies of yesteryear have given way to a fresh new design sensibility in the emerging world of luxury surfboards.  The Roy Stuart Chieftain is only typical in its size, its design and function are as organic and progressive as they come.  From nose to tail  the Chieftain surfboard carries its pilot in the ultimate sea-friendly style.

Here the mid section of the panel which was glued yesterday is ready for the nose components and most of the tail. The tail will be done in two sessions to avoid creep.Mixing 100mls of resin at a time, about 700 to 800mls are required for the entire panelResin is spread on to both sides of each block, rather than on to the frames. No marking is needed this way. If glue is applied to the frames they need to be marked to show where it should be applied, which is tedious.Glue is squeezed out gently, with a see saw motion.The Baron 12 foot power surfboard may well be described as the Rolls Royce of luxury expensive wave riding craft !To be continued . . .. . .
