Just finished frame 2 then realised I'm missing the drawings of frames 3, 5 and 7. Does anyone have a scan of these that they could forward to me?

Started work on the PBK20 what a headache drafting those frames first one done, will leave a couple of millimeters for fairing up.

Love to hear what it sounds like any sound files

Avery's right on don't make a donation, join up. I don't know where you are in Melbourne but it costs $30 to join our shed and $2 per session so you could get a lot of work done.

The wait is always worth it.

Win TV are visiting tomorrow 14/6 as part of Men's Health week so try and get a peek on Win local news

Good luck guys with your open days

Great I first saw these boards at Torquay during the 1956 Olympics dad brought one and we had great fun with it as our other boards were 16' and hard to handle in the surf.

What is the best day from instrument makers? I'm coming across from Bendigo.
