Ready to Rock the Cactus ~ 8'0", 70's-Style Pipeline Gun.....Finished

It's such a trip when you go to the glasser to pick up a board that has been long and involved in the making.  You know how it will probably look.  You harvested, collected and finish-milled the precious material.  You built the blank, made and laid out the template on it and hand-shaped the board.  You are very familiar with the patterns in the wood of the board and the custom fin.   You know....pretty much....what to expect how the appearance of the finished, glossed and polished board will be.    But walking into the glass shop and laying my eye's on the beautifully finished board, the completion of a much earlier vision,  always exceeds my expectations!

I want to thank my good buddy, Michael Miller for the superb glass job that completed this project.

This boards is glassed with double 6oz on both sides.  It's very sturdy.

Finished weight:  About 14 lbs

This early-era short board, shaped by Roland, is a classic from the period when the transition into short boards really started to work. This board has an "S" deck, exaggerated nose rocker, with a rolled bottom through the nose, blending into a flat bottom and rocker, with down rails in the aft 2/3. It has a forward-placed waveset box with a 9" flex fin. Both are in superb condition. No cracks or wear.

It is single-volan glassed with a volan deck patch over the back 2/3. It has zero heel dents. the pinline work is in resin. it has one minor ding on the nose tip, with slight browning extending out to about the size of a quarter.

This 9'7" Wardy, #4585 was made in '64 or '65. The opaque blue panels and black competition stripe are the original color application on this board. It has a green, glass-on, fiberglass D fin. The fin has two minor blemishes, inside the glass, on the trailing edge. Minor color-matching repairs were professionally done on a few places along the rails by John Cherry. I have lots of photos of the board pre-conservation and in its present condition. Pre-conservation photos show crisp white foam beneath the areas where the original opaque pigment was chipped or sand-dragged off.
