Nearing Completion

All she needs is a good sanding and she will be seaworthy!

 Better pictures on the way.

Timmy's Stick

I finally was able to put a roll of film through my Nikonos with the 20mm lens I was given for Christmas, and had quite the surprise when I picked up the roll from the photo store. Apparently, the 20mm 2.8 lens for the Nikonos, is meant for underwater photography only. It has a crazy a-spherical lens of sorts, which creates a completely undistorted view whilst submerged, but in open air, it doesn't work at all. Only the 35 and 80 mm lenses work as regular lenses. Needless to say, I was a bit bummed to learn that the hard way! I would have had such great photos otherwise!

Heres a few of the eff ups:

They all look cooler when they are tiny...

 

On the bright side, Scallywags no. 3 was shaped for my good buddy Timmy.  Now all thats left is to glass!

 

A mini simmons inspired 5"4' x 21.25 x 2.5. It has a hull entry with a slight concave exit, with very little belly or rocker. Gonna be set up as a quad with futures. Should be good for gutless days at the point.

New Stick!

Here's the latest project: Scallywag Shapes no. 2, the displacement hull. 7'6" x 21.5" x 2.5" I cant wait to take this thing out at the point and slide until my heart's content!

Mid point is 5" forward of center.

Nose is 19" wide.

Tail is 14" wide.

SPONGER!

Introducing the Nikonos!

I was lucky enough to track down and acquire a new camera for my quiver. I've been wanting to get a fresh perspective taking photos of surfing and waves, and there is not a better tool to do this while still shooting 35mm. Here are a few shots of the first roll, and I am super impressed how they turned out given the conditions. Hopefully, they will get better and better!
