Tom's Noserider - This is a no compromise 60's style log shaped by my son Tom. Based on a Bing David Nuuhiva Noserider model it features low entry rocker, wide hips and 50/50 rails almost all the way round. No doubt about it his board is designed with tip time in mind. The style and materials used in this stick are as authentic to the era as possible.

The board is glassed with 8oz Volan glass with blue resin tint. One layer on the bottom, two on the deck plus 3" rail laps, fin, tail and deck patch big enough for knee paddling














The deck features acid spash resin design and black resin pinlines. Although the leash lump is not strictly a 60's feature on boards of that era it looks a hundred times better than a leash plug !

The deck view shows an extremely low nose rocker and almost parallel rails -  both features make this a fast paddling board.
