X-1 || first shaped board ever

The start summer 2009, 6'2'' x 19 4/5'' x 2 2/7'' - a big fat bomber - called the X-1, named after the bell areoplane which first flew sonice speed. The fat nose reminded me of the one of the jetplan.

It might didn't look to good - but the thing cought waves like no other + it was hell fast with the quad fin set up, the tail feels like there is is none. Alot of work to do, but already a good start - itsurfed far better then thoght! Tested in France and Spain. 


Made out of two XPS-blanks put into one, glassed with expoxy resin. We finished our boards, just the day we left on our trip - a good fun time with friends!!


RAILS:
Boxy rail

BOTTOM:
single into doulbe concave - storng v from the rear fins out the tail.

ROCKER:
relaxed entry - soon flat - kick in the pattel area - semi flat from the cheast to the tail (blanky)
