Contour de Colorado





Mowing down all of the hotwire ridges to create my blank provided me with hours of planer etiquette practice.  Final refinement of shape is a 5'10" x 13 x 21 x 16 single fin.  I played with versions of a keiki simmons and a double-thumbed flying saucer before settling on this.  Concave nose and vee tail cut with well-behaved planer to give lift and rail sinkability to this beefy foamstock.
