the WALKER PROJECT Double Fish Board Build

[WakeDoc 471]

The bottom started with several layers of standard fiberglass.

The final 4 ounce layer of digitally printed fiberglass is laminated to the bottom leaving vivid graphics that structurally enhance the board.

This is the final layer of fiberglass cloth.

The graphics are colorful as well as vivid and will look even better in the final processes of the board build.

Sanding stage of the board, next process will be hot coat and polish.

Fin box profiles are cut and Future fin boxes are set into the board.

Having a custom board built to the exact shape and specifications you determine is something every surfer should do once in their life. Once the design of the board is done the graphic choice can begin and be from mild to wild. From standard glassing over the blank to wild graphics glassed into the board and everything in between. The biggest thing I would suggest when it comes to graphics is give the board builder as much information as possible. The final board is literally a piece of art and if you want it to look exactly like you envision, then spare no details. The images below are what I sent to convey how I wanted the board to look after the shape had been designed and agreed on between both of us.
