~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BOARDS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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. The ding is completely repaired with cloth and polished surface coat. Width; 21-3/4" $675

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.

Dans image selection wood-burned onto stringer, just forward of the fin set.
Dan's fin set. This board is getting a light mango (yellow-gold) tint glass job. It should look KILLER under these fins!
I made these for Tim Elsner's 6'10" Simm-21 that I just finished shaping. The Simms come standard with a fin set done in laminated exotic hardwoods. Tim wanted something lighter in color and a bit more low-key, so he requested classic marine ply. Tim has requested a subtle wood burn motif on these. I don't know yet what the motif will be, but as Danny Partch has proved, Marine ply keels are a great place for it and they will undoubtedly be very cool.

"Purple Haze" This board is actually a beautiful ultra-violet blue, unlike ANY of these photos. To my great dismay, I descovered that ultra-violet is impossible to photograph (without the proper know-how).
Fin-sets on both boards: Quilted maple over Central American Parota
Abalone-backed logo for Daniel Stupar's fish.
This one's for ME. As I approach f*%#n 60 years old this year, I decided I would do for myself something built for comfort....and speed. Dimensions: 11' x 23-7/8" x 3-3/8".
