Just visited my shaper Stu Kenson’s shop
I just went to my shaper Stu Kenson’s shop to check on some boards.
First i checked out my shaped and sprayed 9'8-only needs to be glassed!
I saw the old gun that Stu let me borrow as my backup gun the winter of 2004/2005. Stu shaped this board for himself in the early eighties.
The Rainbow Warrier! Check the speed blur spray on the rails.
And the board works good:
March 10, 2005. 20 years after the board was shaped, i rode it here at todos santos.
I brought in another really good 7.6 gun that Stu shaped for me to show him what i liked about it. I wanted him to shape me a few more guns like it. here it is:
My 7'6
