Just picked up the tasty Shortbus 2.0 from the Maya Shop a couple weeks ago. Jamie Tuttle did a sick job with the resin work, pretty much got the colors and swirl exactly right. He put a 6oz layer on the bottom, 2 layers of 6oz on the top and a 4oz deck patch on the top as well. It came out weighing 10 pounds, which is 2.6 pounds lighter than the first Shortbus I made a couple years ago. There's roughly 3.5 inches of rocker in the nose and 1.25 in the tail, slightly more than the Uber Plank by Lost. Super stoked on the final product!
First test ride was an early dawn patrol sesh, and it was a magical experience...
Second test ride was during Hurricane Joaquin. It was super fun and performed great even in the big stuff...
First few sessions I've had it setup as a quad with the nubster in the back middle. Seems to work great. Next I'll try it as a twin fin with nubster.
Here is a video following the Shortbus 2.0 from the shaping bay to the sea. Enjoy!
