New strain off the Dyna-Glyde DNA. The new Dyna-Egg, features the basic rocker and foils as the original DG's. The template has been changed for a refined egg outline, still full but less bulk on the ends than the Dyna-Glyde in the same widths. The channels have also been moved with a bias towards the outside rails to increase drive and release from the new quad fin placements.
Rails incorporate the Double Apex which allows for a thinner peripherial apex for sensitivity and added bite, the upper deck apex adds volume to the deck for added volume for extra flotation.
Can be ridden as a Quad / Tri / or as Single with a long box or even as a 5-fin.
Wayne I love it what are the numbers on it? and do you have a close up pic of the bottom tail section.

Nate,
ReplyDeleteSorry I didn't get a chance to take pics of the bottom tail section. It still has the 6 channels, the only diff is they are positioned to suit the new quad fin placement.
7'8" x 22.5" x 3.1"

WOOT!!!!! looking exactly like what I have pictured "in my head" for a classic "egg" shape, Wayne. Totally psyched to get my hands on this baby, and yet another new strain of the Dyna-glide platform !!!
ReplyDeleteAlso cant wait to see how the color turns out :p ... "safety vest orange" will be SWEET if they can pull it off, LOL....
thank so much!!!!

Scott,
ReplyDeleteJim the glasser mentioned that he didn't think he could get that bright of an orange out of opaque epoxy. He said he would try and make it bright as possible...

Nate,
ReplyDeleteI'll snap a few shots of the tail sections after it comes back from the glasser.

No worries, I'm gonna love it regardless of how "bright" we can get the tint.....STOKED!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that is eps. That is nicest finish work I have seen on an eps foam. Must be sealed.
ReplyDeleteWayne, how would this scale down to something in the 6 1/2 to 7 foot range? As a single fin egg?
ReplyDeleteWould the double apex rails have to disappear as the volume went down? Or would you be able to foil them more due to the shorter length?
Either way, another stunning example of your work.
Dan, this shape will translate well with some slight modifications. If you are already on a Dyna-Glyde the transition will "second nature".
ReplyDeleteThe double apex will work well if you want to go with some extra volume and still keep the rails volume low.
Yes, this board was sealed. Honestly, I keep the finish of the EPS as smooth as possible, it takes alot of time but well worth it. The smoother the surface translate to a lighter and stonger board that still has a nice "resonance". You can have a killer shape with terrible resonance due to lumpy, gouged or uneven surfaces that will translate to uneven lamination by having to fill all the "bad" areas. This will translate to a board with less resonance and make the board feel less responsive.
I have ordered EPS boards from at least a dozen different shapers and could not belive my eyes when I saw how clean Wayne's EPS finished blanks are.
ReplyDeleteWayne's finished EPS blanks are cleaner than most other shapers finished poly blanks.
It's rare to find a shaper that takes as much pride in their work as Wayne does.
Keep up the outstanding work!
Kawika
Is this one for "the rooster"?
ReplyDeleteRooster? I'm not sure if that's Scott's "handle"?
ReplyDeleteKawika, Thanks for the props coming from you mean alot as I know how many shapers you have worked with over the years!
ReplyDeleteW>
yup yup..... that's me.... :) first board from Wayne was "rooster's rocket-fish" (RR76?) ... I cant wait to get my hands (and feet, LOL) on this board!!
ReplyDelete-Scott ("rooster") T.
Oh yeah forgot about the RR76.
ReplyDeleteWhat came first the rooster or the egg?
W>
LOL, nice..... in fact I may break that sucker out tomorrow with this nice swell bump, picked up some BIG poncho fins to try out... :)
ReplyDeleteNOT looking forward to that nasty S current tho...
I think the Scimitar w the large 413 pivot maybe the ticket.
ReplyDelete>W
keeping my eyes peeled for a 413 rear pivot...
ReplyDeleteScott, I was planning on setting this board with the Scimitar w 413's.
ReplyDeleteW>
LOL....D'oh!!!!
ReplyDeletegetting soooo stoked to have this in my hands.... spent some of this past weeks nice S swell on the 8'0" Dyna-Glide, and took a few runs with the RR-76 this weekend too..... cant wait to try this(new DG dna strain!) out!! :)
ReplyDelete-RST
Scott, the Dyna-Egg is scheduled to be delivered this week, patience... hahahaha... hurry -up.
ReplyDeleteAtleast I haven't heard the 5 words shapers hate to hear. " Is my board done yet?!!" lol.
all good things come to those who wait, especially a delivery from OAK FOILS !!! :P ... enjoying my DG and RR76..... and eyeing the DG LB's..... oy!
ReplyDelete-RST
Scott, thanks for being paitient. Soon very soon...
ReplyDeleteOk , now I'll ask!!... Is it done yet? :) LOL
