An often ignored but often useful place to find out about all the strange surfboard trips that Fineline Surfboards, Brian Hilbers and Kirk Putnam are up to.

7'0'' Vee Bee , Cry Baby
Brian and I have been workin on this for awhile , its Baby surfboard inspired , a board Greenough shaped in 1965 out of balsa , nose kick added by Mctavish later , ridin by guys that surfed with George, Nat, Bob M. Russel Hughes and many others . Its fun to bring shapes like this back and add tweeks here and there to see if we can come up with something FUN!!
This was a lotta fun to shape, but very hard to find a blank that would accommodate it- it's over 24" wide. It has a lot more hull and a lot less vee than the original efforts- but there's still plenty of vee. It's a great example of what can be done outside the normal dimension box. I sure wish it was up at Cojo today! BJ
