Blood'n guts resin tint

Technorati Tags: resin tint,ocean magic surfboard,nigel semmens,bonzer,gun,single fin

I watched The Master Glasser (Jason) do the blood'n guts tint on my 7'0 B3 gun today. Pretty amazing how little time there is to get a good glass job... so to get the tints beautiful takes a lot of experience. I managed to get my new trainers covered in resin and got high 20 minutes later on the fumes...

 

 

This board is the first with the new-old Ocean Magic logo on it - I'll get a better picture of it next week. The last photo really appeals to me as you can see the colourway that I did for Jase to work to in the back ground.

It's going to have a cool black to red bursts spray on the deck, with some dusted peace bubbles over the hotcoat, pinlines, and some custom black doodles by yours truly on the two modified boozer side fins in a smokey layup.

Its the only thing I'm looking forward to coming back from New Year in Baja for (and the dogs of course).

Merry Christmas all.

Sexy Tints For Surfed out

Check these boards think Jas has done a great job on these tints these wont be in the shop long so hurry up and get there.

Pods and Bees

We just got some pics of some interesting boards we had the pleasure of making with Malcolm Campbell last year. He came and took over the shaping room for a week and made close to 50 boards for a variety of clients in Europe. The boards then went through the factory under the guidance of Nigel, Phil and Malcolm's agent, Guy Penwarden. Daz had to get to grips with the delights of fixing and sanding Bonzer 5s and Bonzer 3s, together with a huge swath of gloss and polish. It was an interesting slug of boards and a process we enjoyed being a part of. The pic is of a 6'0 Bumble Bee and a 6'6 POD.

Sammy the Shepherd

When boy became man...

Sam Jones, 19, from St Merryn  with his first custom board for his 7 month trip to Indo... a 6'4" x 18 3/4" x 2 3/8" 5-fin swallow tail.

Some pictures of Sammy ripping have come up on facebook and apparently he's loving the drive of all those fins. 

Transmullet

This is one crazy colourway designed by Newquay big-boy, Arran Martin, together with his own "Transmullet" logo that we transposed onto some laminating paper... I have no idea what the "Transmullet" thing is all about but its one hell of a board. 6'4" x 21 x 2 3/4" of finest Burford foam.

It's for a big guy for everyday surf. We are going to stick a 7" True Ames Bonzer fin on it as they tend to suit the bigger guys and wider tails better than the standard 6 1/2 inch. Nuff respect as always to Malcolm Campbell whose lifetime of making and refining Bonzers inspired both the customer and the finished board.

Test

They told me this blogging thing was easy so we have set up the Foam Asylum - aka Ocean Magic Surfboard Factory. Featured here is an unusual angle of an unusual board with a lime green/white/black resin tint on the bat-tail.
We are going to try and post a board a day, so watch out for more posts soon.
