Evolution of the curious mind!

As I build more boards, I get an understanding of the limitless possibilities of HWS boards. I am finding that the more I expriment, the more I want to. I recently built a HWS Balsa board with balsa rails, nose & tail blocks, and thought what can I do to make this a bit different. I decided to attempt a Tunnel fin, and after hours of debating with myself the best construction method, got one built. The result is pictured below.




This is the type of thing, I believe which makes HWS boards stand out from the rest. If you remove the enviromental issues, and focus purely on appearance and style, I dont think the look of the wooden board can be beaten. It has a raw, back to nature, original feel about it, and I find myself obsessed with searching for new looks, and build techniques.




All types of boards made using computer software.

The board looks great. Has a clean look and I like the rails in the back.

Hey Turtle, I was wondering about the tunnel fin too. Sorry to hear it doesn't work as well as expected.

Thanks for the comment mate. I should have called it The Enterprise!!. AS for surfing, there is no danger of it ever replacing the traditional fin set up, in my opinion!! Its great when you are paddling straight, albeit a bit of a drag, but the back end slides to much once riding. Turtle
