The Shaggyshack can glass anything, so long it is messing around polyester resin. We don't wanna hear about epoxy here. But yeah epoxy resin would be best on wood. Not as deep, clear and shinny as poly dough!

First of all Happy fuckin' new year y'all ! Hope we got rid of stock market, free loaders, traders you name it, for real, so we can live in peace.
Anyway, friend of mine brought me this to fix few dings before his trip to Morrocco.

rocker

cool nose

Sounds like the tail has been choped, reshaped, glassed and been surfed without even care for sanding that stuff, all of this the same day. You know the feeling when you work in creative environment. Then trashed. End of story !

funny tail

It has a cool belly bottom well shape, great rocker for easy catching, frye kinda like simmons rails.

Feedback: perfect nose rider, got long ride ten tose on the nose, but! kinda tricky to make that thing turn.

Ten Footer shaggyshack style.

2011-12-20T13:55:00.001+01:00

sand finish

big ass motherfucker !

half polished, half sand finish

So there it is, first ten footer ever ! Well, it's big ! I own a 9'6 Iron Cross Motherload but the impression is even bigger here, long I mean. Round pintail my favorite and it can be carry under the arms, important when it comes to cross sahara's sand dunes here in Medoc.
Second part of the deal, personal board means personal lamination. Big influence coming from The Board Design. They are the best !
One third of the bottom is a mexican blanket, then translucent green bottle of wine. Top is translucent blue grey, 2x6oz. leash loop, special finbox re-enforcement 2 + 1, double pinline and purple resin patern. One side polished thru the rails on the other side, then sand finish 1000 grits inside the pinlines. It saves hassles, and it looks cool.

Fair Deal

2011-12-08T18:36:00.001+01:00

We trade a glass for a shape and here is Toy personal new 9'4 Noserider. I was asking if I could do whatever I want on a surfboard. Nothing too trashy, but a decent mix of colors. Gloss and polish and cherry on a cake : a tailblock.

What??? The board is done but I can't see the fins!!! The magic is not done yet, carbon fiber fins on the way at the Kamikaze Factory.

For the twice year in a row the shack is glassing Remi's new bonzer vehicle from M. Campbell, so long life to master shaper Malcom Campbell!

Strong glass with full S-glass lamination : 1 for the bottom and 2 on the top plus patch.
Swirls influenced by the Lucky Bastards, great blog and great guys.

9'4 noserider par TOY

2011-05-25T13:59:00.009+02:00

Tres bonne planche encore shapee par Didier Damestoy, un mastershape !

6 oz bottom et 2 x 6 oz Top en lamination blanche semi opaque. Les bandes sont en resine suivant un cahier des charges tres precis. Le tout glossed and polished.
C'est tres complique de bien faire coincider des lignes au niveau des rails. Mais le shaggyshack ne laisse rien au hasard. Une planche a la deco unique qui va surement se faire remarquer au line up. Elle est belle mais surtout elle va super bien marcher. C'est comme dans le cochon, tout est bon ! Et puis c'est glassee a la ferme, quand l'heure est a la defense du terroir et du fabriquer localement.

Shaggyshack, surfboards locally grow !

I wanna kill Bill

2011-05-20T10:56:00.008+02:00

It's been a while fellas, I have been lazy with the computer lately. Here is a 9'4 TOY surfboard.
Comment from the owner : " It's the ultimate noserider and sharp performer, best board I ever had!".
It's glassed strong : 6oz on the bottom and 2x6oz top plus knee patch. Gloss n polish.

Inspiration came from Uma Turman sportsuit in the cult movie Kill Bill.

Nous avons ici au Taillan medoc surement le shaper le plus precis de France. Ses shapes sont parfaits et marchent parfaitement. J'ai vu beaucoup, beaucoup de shapes fait par les meilleurs comme par ceux qui se croient les meilleurs, etrangers ou francais.
Toy fait parti des meilleurs au meme titre que les Takayama, Brewer, Rawson, Arakawa, Campbell, Byrne, Carper ...
Dommage que peu d'entre vous ne s'en soit apercu.
De plus ce ne sont pas des copies de modeles deja existants, ses outlines sortent de sa propre reflexion et de sa parfaite connaissance hydrodynamique.
Le personnage peut etre deroutant voir paraitre arrogant mais les faits sont la : ses planches sont magiques et sont rides par bon nombre d'excellents surfers.

Ses planches sont disponibles au Escape Surfshop cours pasteur, demandez a Kami !

freshly glossed

2010-10-17T10:25:00.004+02:00

The last board from me old shaggyshack, freshly glossed.

Wait 'till this thing shine, oooh! sexy...

the shaggyshack don't mess with your surfboard.

noserider classic by TOY surfboards

2010-09-30T14:32:00.009+02:00

here is a special order from Escape Surfshop. This board is for Gerard, a good fellow and a good longboarder. Special lamination on demand here with 2x 4 oz on the bottom and 3x 4oz plus knee patch on the deck.The dude likes is board with some weight but hey the shaper was here too and insist : "I would like it light mate!".
Kick ass board to spend some time on the nose. But you gotta ride with style, if you thing your good when your arms go all around the place or pulling off a wanna be soul arch in the white water, let me tell you something : you suck!
Longboarding is not about the amount of waves you gonna catch up, it's about style !

Longboard performance

2010-09-03T14:00:00.005+02:00

Yeah every once in a while the shaggyshack does something little bit different than gloss and polish surfboards. Sand finish is quiet relaxing dough!

So, here is a ultimate comp model, but the one you wanna keep breathing more than a few session. So it's glassed light and strong. 2x 4 oz on the top plus patch and one on the bottom. All S-glass.
Because the shaggyshack doesn't product stuff that doesn't last.
But still you don't wanna trow that board when a set is coming...

What !!! 5.45 kg ! dude, this shit is gonna fly!

Chacal is glassing a Campbell Brothers

2010-08-19T08:52:00.011+02:00

Le premier bonzer Campbell en placage Bambou au monde, ehehe!
Le placage est l'oeuvre de Kim Kamikaze, le reste ...fallait pas l'inviter. Quand on me laisse faire ce que je veux, je teste. Et comme j'adore les acid splash, les abstract laminations et autres swirls, ca donne ca.
Faire une tint sur du bois change un peu les couleurs, c'etait un peu l'inconnu.
Sans pour autant sacrifier la solidite et le poids de la deck:
4 oz s glass on the bottom plus 2x 4 oz on the top plus the bamboo skin.

Contre jour, la lumiere au moment des photos etaient deja trop chaude.

Shaggyshack makes sure to use the best product for your surfboard.
Double tint lamination, resin pinlines, gloss and polish, etc... the full outfit!

Full exposition a la lumiere de midi. On voit quand meme je fais gaffe a ne pas trop arroser ma pelouse. De toute facon, je deteste tondre!

The Chacal's claw, you want to talk about resin pinline!

Eh oui Remi, it's a surfboard, it has wood in the middle, foam on the side and something that look like fins on the back!

chacal was here

2010-08-05T07:20:00.016+02:00

J'ai eu la chance de faire parti du voyage, et de rencontrer non seulement le genial Malcom Campbell mais le super team UWL et leurs geniteurs, les Cardinal bros. J'en reviens toujours pas et ca fait plus de 2 mois. Juste la grande classe! En toute humilite en plus, chapeau bas. Y'en a un paquet qui peuvent prendre de la graine et arreter de se regarder le nombril.

Not brand new resin pump but still on air! A bit sticky I reckon, just stay 2 step away.

Shapers story. Le meilleur shaper de Bonzer francais rencontre son mentor, le meilleur shaper de Bonzer du monde.

Action! Mr Campbell in his flat, 2 weeks scratching foam, producing what bonzer fans know as the best wave vehicles.
Do you think this guy has surdimensional ego? not at all, the most humble and friendly man. A great shaper and a great man.

Tool! Bonzer genitor personal skill 100. How many surfboards do ya think this planer has shaped?

Stoke french fan meeting his hero. Come on bra, wipe that silly grin off your face remi! Behave dude! Just kidding, I'm myself still ecstatic man...

More to come 'cause the shaggyshack has glassed what's know now as the first Bamboo skin Campbell of the world, ehehe!

2 tone blue longboard

2010-07-30T14:00:00.007+02:00

Eight something tanker by TOY surfboards. Back to something more conventional in the glass job. Transluscent electric blue on the bottom and clearer on the deck. Pictures don't do justice to blue color on a computer screen, much brighter for real but don't look for that color out of the jar, it's mixed at the shack.
All our laminations are custom made.

This is what you expect when you're showing up front with a ding on your board. Here, no time to waste fixing your fav magic carpet ride the wrong way. We're proudly stand by our work.
And I've learned from the best : Joe Ropers Surfboard Repair, on Morena bvd, San Diego CA.

long time no see

2010-06-08T10:15:00.007+02:00

Man I like acid splash! Shaper asked me if I could be more symetric. Dude, no way! nothing more boring than a straight line if you see what I mean. And in fact I like "the let's see what happen" feeling.
Here is a 7 something TOY mini tanker, I'm glad the dude recover from elbow injury, he is back and sharp.

Shaggyshack, if you don't go you don't know!

Eight footer TOY longboard

2010-04-14T11:02:00.005+02:00

This is a longboard and not a tanker from TOY. Ask him once and he answer twice, you know the dude, very passionate.
Patern was cool : " do me a light turquoise blue on the bottom and whatever on the top", well at least whatever was cool enough to me dough! Then I watched that freaking video on the Cooperfish website. Like I said, Cooperfish is spreading the disease. At that time at the Joe Roper, I was already hooked with their acid lamination. It's a resin waster but I can't help it, I just love it man!
And I've got the double pinline back after It got lost in the bush for a while. Thinner on the outside, dude, you want to leave your Parkinson home....

resin panel

2010-03-25T15:48:00.006+01:00

Resin panel are a pain in the butt. I confirm! but it looks great. And when Balsa showed me the patern, they were no escape. And it's just the way it is... smooth and silky!
But i was taught by the greatest, Larry Crow from San Diego CA. He was messing around every now and then at the Joe Ropers, and it was delightfull to watch him played. I've learned so much hanging around that shop, thank you so much !

Risky business when it comes to sand the rails dough! Gravity makes a thin lay on the rails and you don't want to patch over and over when you sand thru. It's was all by hand for me and a lot of stress. But it kicks ass!
so come on bra, bring it on!

Shaggy style ...

2010-03-22T13:27:00.005+01:00

Hi fellas, Shaggyshack is pimpimg a new surftoy here.
The Cooperfish factory is spreading the disease....
no cure for a long time appears to shows up front !
work is on progress, more to come.

TOY All Over Mini Tanker

2010-03-18T17:21:00.007+01:00

It's good to go for clear resin lamination every now and then. It takes pressure down. No cutlaps, no colors that turn weird, no blury vision, and acetone that can be used for more than one time, etc.... But at the end, it feels empty or uncomplete. Well I know, I must be sick. So I've drawned a pinline and shined that thing. Now I feel better.

Yellow Fever

2010-02-22T13:47:00.007+01:00

It's been a while since my last yellow lamination. I always mixed up different
tint to get a bright close to golden yellow.
Double 4 oz S-glass on the top and the classic Toy old style fins set up.
Super light, super strong. Board that should stoke future owner with the legendary precise Didier Damestoy surfboard design.

shaggyshack mean acid lemon yellow....

master shape, few more shots

2010-02-18T15:09:00.010+01:00

this stoked gentleman is only 6'3 tall.
Big ass board! You gotta be handy when you shape rails that long and not turning this step into magic mountain rides.

had nothing else to compare with. So I grabbed me good old Brewer 9 footer. Fair enough I reckon!
This board is nothing but the perfect tool when waves get serious. Hold speed, fast on the paddle and never get tricked when ride going steep.
I hope this fellow above has as many fun as I have riding this magic carpet.

Pipeliner East by Guilhem Rainfray

2010-01-18T19:33:00.005+01:00

if you guys familiar with swaylock's, you surely noticed this thread. Inspired by Jeffrey Swartwood, this project had been under supervision of Mr Bing Copeland himself. Cf pipeliner east inspired
Ok, I really wanted to glass this thing and when Jeffrey told me about it, I couldn't stop thinking.
It was me first time on Guilhem Rainfray surfboard, legend shaper on the Basque's coast. And first time volan lamination. Very thin nose and tail would be tricky. Was concern with bubbles.
Leitmotiv was : classic! classic triple stringer, classic shape, classic lamination. Swirls and resin tint, forget about it!
Actually everything went ok, well kinda. I had to redo pinlines, this is what happens when your butterfingers lose the tape half way from the end. Anyway, here are few pics of freshly gloss pipeliner east inspired.

delivery coming soon....

2010-01-04T13:44:00.007+01:00

First of all, the shaggyshack wish you all a great coming year, waves, enough money to go thru, a tons of money to spend at the shack and may you stay still strong in the morning for a another year.
We've been out a town on a trip to Bretagne, where you don't go for its tropical weather obviously. where people here don't fear rough climat. In this secret spot here called la torche, I've been blessed. This place is special in my mind, it's been the second time around and I had 3 absolute great sessions. It's freaking crowed here but so long you're not a dumb ass, you can surf out. Long and mellow lines, perfect for triming a longboard. People here can surf and level is quiet impressive. You barely never hear of locals but some can ride in style or shred some lips. So thanks a lot people! It's been a pleasure.

Following pics are kinda blur, the photographer apologize. She was freezing cold in that strong offshore wind, temp outside around 35 degres, water temp 46 degres farenheit. At the top you have rain whimping you kids face and you have a idea of the place.

see you later

Lightning Bolt

2009-12-08T12:51:00.008+01:00

Here is a Lightning Bolt Hawaii shaped by Brian Hinde. This thing was buy in Bali in a really beat up condition. It's not a restoration, just fixing the dings, and give it a better look.
Very hard to rough sand dough, those old timers have strong glass jobs. Plus all the dings that had been fix at many era and you have a full accomplished life for a surfboard. But some of us like to keep things alive and even if it was made to look pretty in the living room, this true Bolt is ready to go back in the water.

I've patched all the dings, fill holes here and there, glass the all bottom with 4 oz. Then after it was sand, I've re done the Lightning bolt with tinted gloss resin and the pinlines then I 've glossed the board both side. But I've just shined the bottom, the guy wanted to save on few bucks.

shaggyshack keeps your magic carpet alive

custom shape

2009-12-03T11:13:00.010+01:00

First homemade shape for Eric. Drawing from a friend of him and pimped at the shack with supervision of the shaper. He was there to help me out with the stripes and I think it was a bit stressfull for him, wasn't it? with 10 m to go you don't wanna get lost in the bush.

It came out right, the owners love it, so as far as I'm concern it's all good.

The shaggyshack is always open for custom shape! bring it on.

TOY minitanker pimped by Chacal

2009-11-20T15:02:00.008+01:00

Here is Kami's personal board. 6 oz s-glass on the top, blue tint top and white tint bottom. Reverse cutlap for this one. I've never tried it before, but my mentor Mickael Miller did it recently and influenced me once again.
So lots of cutlaps here with this swirled blue patern on the bottom.
Double purple resin pinlines.
I like to do things I never done before and it came out quiet good.

"Shall we shag now or shall we shag later?"

keep a breast

2009-10-09T11:17:00.014+02:00

Hi lady...
Rough sanding....

Then I layed several tinted gloss coat and each time I had to sand it off. I wanted a clean surface. It's all by hand because no pad would curve enough, staying close enough to body shape.
hand sanding coming next, then an other one, and another one etc....

It's done, after hours of sanding. Last two steps were clear gloss coat. I like when you can feel a deep layer of clean gloss coat, I think it's pretty.
I'm not considering myself as an artist, more of an artcraft man and an handy man. I went to check on keep-a-breast.org to see what was up to and thought about it: what will I do?
So I went on what I know best : messing around with polyester resin and pigments.
The symbolic here came from the name of the fundation and what inspire me in the surgery that is suppose to cure a breast cancer.
Everybody should be concern, male or female. Respect for people who fight the disease with whatever can help.
Thanks to Lorene carpentier who contact me and gave me the opportunity to work on this project. It's cool to do something different.

This thing will be given to Keep-a-breast europe and seen at Escape Surfshop

kermit la grenouille a l'infirmerie

2009-10-06T15:12:00.004+02:00

mean shorebreak stepped on a frog, and snapped the poor thing in two pieces. Very bad snap actually.
At the infirmery, they have told the parents to be prepare for the worst. But at the shack, we are taking care the best as we can of your magic carpet ride.

Here it is, ready to be back for a second round....

bleu outre-mer

2009-09-26T11:43:00.006+02:00

TOY aime les resines translucides et surtout, surtout le bleu outre mer ou cobalt. Au point de venir lui meme mixer sa propre resine dans le shack.

Shack attack, here cobalt blue, 2x6oz S glass top and 4 oz bottom. Full glass and polish. Got to be known for transluscent resin job. Is there anybody out there who likes acid splash and swirls?

Turquoise Blue

2009-09-14T17:20:00.004+02:00

Dur d'obtenir du bleu turquoise, pour je ne sais quelles excellentes raisons, on le trouve aux Etats Unis mais pas en France. Donc il faut bricoler.

Ici sur un fish racing de chez Markis Surfboards. Finition mat au grain 1000 ( comme ca y'a plus qu'a si jamais t'aurais envie de faire briller ).

resin pinline rose

Single by Markis Transluscent Sprout Green

2009-09-08T19:39:00.004+02:00

One of my favorite color for a surfboard. Green just like a bottle of medoc red wine....
Did the drawing with posca.
No pinline because cutlap kicks ass. It's good to see thru every now and then and the shaggyshack have nothing to hide.
Hard work for righteous glass job.

Wazza....

2009-09-02T10:55:00.006+02:00

what's up this summer at the shack? Well not much except : VACACIONNES!!!!

A family trip to Spain, getting lost in mountains looking for fresh air. But before hanging out, having beers and all that good stuff of doing nothing, I had to glass a batch of boards for Markis Surfboards.
Garage shape doesn't mean Garbage shape. Marc Biel aka Markis knows his shit.
Here is a performance fish : black and pink tint, 4 oz lamination. Light and strong because the shaggyshack knows his shit too.

Retro look but really not retro at all! Sharp edges, slim and light weight. Racing fish for power surfing.

backyard glasser

2009-07-17T07:44:00.008+02:00

full 4 oz S Glass, orange bottom and egg plant purple on the top.
All done in 20 square meter in the back on my house.
I've tried new gloss resin from well known shaper down to pays basque. Was not a good shot.
I had to take it off and it's not that easy. Taupo gloss works better but for some reason, still have few spot here and there where tiny holes hold compound. Still a good looking piece of foam.
Inspiration came from a shot of midget Farelly and his quiver.

see you at the shack

6'4 egg shaped by TOY and glassed at the Shack

2009-07-09T22:07:00.012+02:00

Une piece unique a la deco unique. Turquoise blue top et bottom. Tout en translucide, pas besoin de pinline puisque la coupe est propre. Et puis c'est ce qui est recherche ici. On veut voir au travers.
Ce parfait petit egg est shape par didier Damestoy. Le travail de resine et la conception de la deco sortent de mon esprit. J'avais vu un catalogue de fringue a la mode, Paul Frank pour ne pas la citer, dont la couverture m'a accroche les yeux. J'aimais assez les contrastes de couleurs pas forcement assorties. Les rayures sont faites en resine teintee. C'est beaucoup d'attention, beaucoup de temps, mais le resultat fait de cette planche un modele unique. La goutte fushia sur le bottom est aussi en resine teintee. Pratique pour y coller ma signature.
Et Betty Page parce que Betty Page est sexy. Comme cette planche qui correspondra parfaitement a une ondine.

6'4 x 20 x 2 5/8

cross step or step away

2009-06-29T22:16:00.003+02:00

Julie is certainly not that kind of surfer...

More of Julie's board

2009-06-26T15:13:00.006+02:00

Was fun to make that one. First time airbrush.
Chocolat brown in 6oz bottom and 3x4oz top : one light turquoise blue and 2 clear. You want to crosstep that thing so make it a bit stronger. Still pretty light for a full glassjob and polish.

Toy 7'5 minitanker nacre

2009-06-19T07:35:00.009+02:00

J'ai rencontre le futur proprio de cette beaute shapee par Didier Damestoy a la soiree d'inauguration de l'excellent shop ESCAPE, cours pasteur a Bordeaux. Ce qui fut fructueux puisque on etait parti avec le shaper sur quelque chose de completement different. On a discute de sa planche et comment il la voyait. Il voulait sa planche blanc translucide. J'ai juste pense que faire des swirls de resine transparent apporterait le petit plus comme chez Balsen. On voit bien sur rien sur les photos (comme de juste). Mais le resultat est surprenant.
Une tres belle planche nacree.
attention en vrai, ca fait mal aux yeux!

2+1 Toy surfboard pimped at the shack

2009-06-08T10:09:00.008+02:00

green never comes right on my screen, don't know why.
Transluscent green, clean cut, no pinline. I like reflection on my pics.
I know it can hide things. Nothing to worry about, the shaggyshack
gives his best to come out with the rightous glass job you need.

I do think a pinline finishes a glass. Still people like to see thru. Anyway, feel free to ask freak out pinlines.

Sophie s'inspire des moucharabias marocaines, j'ai voulu un orange tres lumineux. Surtout en ces periodes de morosite ambiante. Le pinline sur le dessous vient tout droit des 70's. La planche est un egg 6'6 de 20 pouces et demi de large. Une planche unique qui ne passera pas inapercue.

piece of history here

2009-04-10T09:47:00.013+02:00

LE fameux 69 de 1997, celui des rides sur les murs de l'atelier KAMIKAZE, celui du take off un bon metre cinquante, bien devant la citerne du mascaret de saint pardon, donc a 10 ou 15 un samedi apres midi de septembre et bon apero au bar merci France 3 encule!, bottom back side la main dans l'eau grosse gerbasse, turn off the lip 3 quarter of the board out, and lose the freaking mascaret, ehehe les images sont encore en moi, tu nous l'a colle sous le tarrin. T'as bien rame pour rentrer mais c'etait tente.
Donc here at the shop. Restoration is on....

era when longboards kamikaze were shape as guns. Really fast freaking things and really confortable. Now couldn't hold much of nose riding but man this things works. Fast and furious.

Here same period, but same kevlar power rods on the bottom and power curves top. Stronger. But when this things break, it's not pretty.

Here is Martin first shape. And last as he told me. He wanted full glass job with tint resin and polish. I went for half opaque on this one to hide a bit planner scratches. Pro finish for amateur shape, just like L'oreal at the shaggyshack.

2009-01-19T16:03:00.007+01:00

It's been a while since I've done this thing and I didn't post any pics. The fact the matter is, I didn't even surf this nice little quad yet, shaped by Kamikaze in october (after 6 bloody months on the waiting list). I had any idea of what to do on this boards 5 minutes before I started to glass. Resin went off fast right after I was finishing the stripes and I had to run a bit.

surf diva

2008-11-27T10:34:00.005+01:00

un projet qui me tenait a coeur depuis longtemps. Des planches destinees aux divas qui se font helas trop rares au line up. Le concept est aussi de reunir trois energies, le shaper (ici c'est Barrel qui s'y colle), le glasser (myself) et l'artiste (sophie, coupable deja de larcins remarquables chez Kamikaze). Une tri-therapie en quelque sorte.

Le shape: c'est des planches legeres, maniables et surtout fonctionelles. Pas trop de largeur pour passer la dune, ici pas besoin de se demettre l'epaule. Shape etudie pour etre polyvalent. Et s'adapter aux conditions. La debutante appreciera son confort, la surfer confirmee sa reactivite.

Le glass: je me suis inspire de mes lectures: Elle, Voici, Les Inrocks, ... et j'aime les couleurs. J'avais pas encore vu de lemon green qui me scotche et les jaunes sont souvent un peu fadasses. J'aime mixer pour obtenir la teinte qui ne se trouve pas ailleurs.

L'art: pour justement en faire un objet unique. Et beau! parce que surfer est un acte unique et beau. Que l'on a une relation particuliere a l'objet qui nous procure tant de plaisir. Et qui reste.

more to come....

D'abord le noir, quand c'est bien sec, le violet aubergine et pour finir le turquoise. Sur la photo c'est brut. Reste le gloss coat et le lustre. Que du bonheur.

Order your resin pinline at the shack, because shaggyshack experienced weird stuff on his own first before it goes on yours.

Restauration Joel Roux

2008-11-11T17:41:00.001+01:00

Here is a finished restoration of a Joel Roux, great shaper from the 70's era who shaped some of the finest single fin lightning bolt like in south west france.

I had to set up a tail block that come from a door, because the tail was just too trashed.

I found that thing 15 years ago in a trash container by the way

Restauration Joel Roux

2008-11-10T19:03:00.001+01:00

J'ai fini la restauration de cette planche aujourd'hui. Cela m'aura pris en tout 15 ans et 2 mois. Car j'ai trouve ce single dans les poubelles de Carcans en 1993. Je faisais la saison au camping du docteur Dartigues. Elle n'appartenait visiblement plus a personne et j'ai de suite trouve la courbe de cette planche intéressante. Je ne savais pas encore ce que c'etait. Je l'ai appris il y a 3 ans quand je l'ai montre a mon pote Kamikaze qui me dit: "tient! une joel Roux!" Qui c'est ce mec? Ca c'est Slide et Balsa qui me l'apprirent un peu plus tard sur le forum Shaperoom.

Donc pourquoi tout ce temps, d'abord il m'a fallu apprendre le metier de glasser, sans cela point de salut. Ensuite le temps! j'y suis venu regulierement mais de facon annecdotique depuis que j'ai mon petit shack au fond du jardin et aujourd'hui, enfin elle est finie. Ouf!

Au niveau du boulot realise, c'est dommage mais je n'ai pas de photos montrant la planche avant le debut des travaux. Je n'ai pense a en faire qu'apres avoir ponce et pose le tail block.
La derive etait arrachee, le leash loop avait ete realise par un manchot aveugle, les multiples pets ont ete repares a plusieurs epoques souvent de facon malheureuse et le tail etait completement eclate d'ou le tailblock. Ajoutez divers pets le long des rails et au nose. Un vernis epais recouvre le gloss super chiant a poncer (j'ai eu le meme probleme avec une mark Richard de la meme epoque a peu pres).
Cela dit, le glass original etait super avec ces cutlaps au laser et le travail de gloss coat teinte.

J'aurais pu repeindre et recuperer le jaune original afin de masquer le sale travail de reparation de la derive effectue surement par le meme bricolo qui avait monte le leash loop, ou encore les gros travaux necessaires a la remise a niveau du tail mais ca donne un vrai cote vintage. Je voulais egalement limiter le surpoids afin de pourquoi pas, la surfer un jour.
Donc pose de tail block, reparation des pets, profilage et pose d'une derive en contreplaque de peuplier, resin pinline noir dessus dessous, gloss et polish.

La porte, blindee. Fabriquee par mon grand-pere il y a plus de 30 ans. J'ai jamais remis un pet de graisse..

Le shack et ses 24 m2 dedie a la culture de l'ouvrage soigne dans le surf. Avec devant le bio-recycleur de vapeurs. J'utilise une VMC dans le local dont l'air est ensuite filtre par un bio-filtre a base d'ecorces de pin capturant ainsi toutes substances chimique. Le but etant de fabriquer un compost.

Sanding room. Tout est ainsi recycle ou jeter au container approprie. Il y a pour moi une double necessite: j'utilise des produits toxiques pour nous et l'environnement. Je ne tiens pas a les balancer n'importe ou, donc dans la mesure du possible, je fais gaffe. Et ensuite j'habite a cote avec la famille. Pas question que mes gosses respirent ca, d'ou le filtre qui est que dalle a mettre en place et qui me permet de perdurer la passion du glass de planches de surf, le plus bel outil qui soit!

ps: merci a N'Guyen Kim "Kamikaze" pour les photos, vieux pervers!

2008-10-17T09:27:00.001+02:00

effet de mode ou reel changement, j'avais envie de savoir. Au debut je voulais un twin identique a mon larmo mais strate light pour faire la difference. Maintenant, les shapers c'est comme ca. Tu veux un truc et tu ressorts avec un autre. C'est de la balle il parait! on verra bien. Et puis j'avais jamais eu de quad, faut bien commencer un jour. Et pour finir, quant tu viens d'attendre 6 mois, tu prends ce qu'on te donne sans trop poser de questions.

Medoc as good as it gets when offshore wind combines with decent period groundswell. A sandbar that looks just like a point break with nobody around and good old 9 feet brewer still going like a charm. OK took some weight after being snaped in half in South California and repair by mastercraftmen at the Joe Ropers. Anyway, from Blacks to Gironde, still providing tons of fun!

Bonzer 6'0, manque plus que les runners ce qui ne depend plus de moi. Toute la difficulte a realiser des teintes noires sur ces photos. La moindre poussiere, le moindre defaut se voit comme le nez au milieu de la figure de Walter Spanghero. Enfin comme d'habitude, le shack fait de son mieux car toutes les planches que ce soit shapees par des pros ou des amateurs sont traitees de la meme maniere.

The Trim Movement # 06

2008-06-13T10:06:00.000+02:00

First try of a full patern using color coat on a white opaque resin tint. Inspiration comes from great glassing factory : Michael Miller factory
He's my teacher and mentor with this other man Phil "silverback" Northey, from Black N White factory, UK.
But the real man who was kind to teach me few things when it comes to gloss coat tinted is the great artist Larry Crow who now works with Michael Miller. And he got it from the master himself Sam Cody. Knockledge is like a joint, you don't wanna bogart it, so pass it over!

Voila ma premiere vraie experience de gloss coat teinte utilisant les deux cotes de la planche. Resine teintee blanche opaque. Mes maitres sont Michael Miller qui m'a appris presque tout ce que je sais quand nous travaillions ensemble chez Joe roper et Phil Aka Silverback Northey de chez Black n White qui en une semaine a change ma vie. Mais le vrai maitre du gloss coat teinte est Larry Crow qui venait de temps en temps chez Roper pour ce genre de boulot et qui nous laissait le regarder travailler et lui poser un milliard de questions. Il fut l'eleve de Sam Cody lui meme. C'est ce que j'aime particulierement chez les americains. Ils n'hesitent pas a partager le savoir et le transmettre de generations en generations. A prendre de la graine!

Et merci a Trim Chris de me laisser la liberte necessaire pour faire de nouvelle chose.
