Shortbus 2.0 - Part 1

A lot has happened since the last post on here. Moved to a new bigger house (which came with a reeeeally nice big shed)...

2 weeks after moving in our little man Asher Kelly Samaha decided he would come a few weeks early...
So needless to say life's been crazy busy... We love this little guy soooo much! 

After painting about every wall in the new house, updating the kitchen and countless hours of unpacking and organizing I finally got around to setting up the lights in the back of the shed so I can shape again. 

Picked up a stringerless EPS blank from a local shaper and starting mowing foam the other night. Making another Shortbus for meself but this one will have a different thinner tail, a split arc tail to be exact, hoping to add some more maneuverability and hold, the tail and rails on the old one were too fat and sometimes it would slide out the back of the wave. Here's what I've done so far...

The blank...Nice and thick!!!

Outline...

Cut out...

Thinned down the tail...

Rail bands mapped out...

Rocker shot.

That's all for now.

Stay stoked!
