Prototype Ready for Sea Trials

Mastersurfcraftsman, The Dude, has finished the prototype of the "The Mexican", a 6'8" hollow timber rounded pin. The dude said" I'm really pleased with the result, its come up a treat and the Mexican is really happy with it." The Mexican said "I went out and bought a brand new board bag so we wouldn't get any grotty old wax on it."
The Mexican is designed as a high performance board with the oldfartsurfer in mind, a bit more length, a bit more width and a bit more thickness to give that extra floatation and wave catchability. Its a got speed lines for long walled waves but the fins are set to help some tighter arcs. Sea trials are planned to commence on 29 August subject to weather and waves.
Avid readers are pretty keen to hear how it goes so we will endeavour to give you some feedback on the trials at the earliest opportunity.
