Getting the Itch...

I'm getting reacquainted with my surroundings again, and with that I'm also getting the itch to shape some surfcraft. First up (since it doesn't require making a lot of noise and pissing off the neighbors in an as of yet undetermined level of sensitivity neighborhood) is a Lindsey Lord proportioned paipo using the sawed up alaia (check the way older posts - this is more a tweaking exercise) and hopefully a few (but more likely only a couple) paulownia handplanes. I'll be focusing on the 0.4 length to width ratio. This stuff isn't by any stretch of the imagination 'new' or 'modern' - just look at a Boogie Board - looks like it already has that ratio in use, but it will be made and surfed by me with care and diligence.
