This was the artwork just after midnight. I finished it at about 1.30am and then got it into Chris the following day for the rest of the spraywork.
The spot is somewhere on the SouthCoast between Southampton and Dover – those in the know will recognise it I am sure. It’s on the bottom of a SkinDog Transformer.
This is an EVO3 Bat tail 6’6” that would suit anyone looking for some performance in a broad range of waves, combined with easy wave catching (without the duck diving difficulties of a wider nose). The spray, tint and artwork are all just classic late 70s. I think it’s beautiful.
Can't believe this board is still sitting in the shop in Trevone. Let’s hope this post helps this one find a happy home.
Full details on the original post.
6’7” X 20 3/4” X 2 7/8” this Riddler comes a little different to the norm being less barrel oriented, so less V, harder rails for more drive, a little less tail rocker and a thicker foil. Designed for Peter for easy wave catching without the normal nightmare of duck-diving a wide nose egg at somewhere like Polzeath. Set up with EVO 5 fin bonzer and EVO 6 fin bonzer options. A pair of custom wood CRV rears to be sent as soon as my blasted pinkie heals (yes it’s still a mess and not surfing or power tools for a while longer – sorry Pete!).
Hope to have a review from Roachy in the near future.
Last autumn Malcolm shaped me a 6’8” Octafish Bonzer… after a run up the Freeway with Tim Elsner for Malcolm’s personal inspection, Peace flew to Baja with Steve Jacobi to await my arrival – only to be thwarted by Immigration who didn’t like the lack of chevrons on Vicky’s passport. The board is still in Mexico but we will finally be united this December for some winter waves at Cassa Jacobi.
Rabbit, 1979, with his classic Hot Stuff squash tail single fin… an epic plan shape and an epic spray… I have this in mind for one of my boards in the near future.
