The Hog-Fish, originating from a hand shape has many unique areas that have been massaged into the shape. Eccentric as Frank is about his shape, he has an understanding that to recreate the magic requires the surfboard to be recreated in it’s entirety , ie making a small change has a domino effect through the entire design.
Frank wanted to recreate the Hog-Fish with all it’s flaws and all it’s glorified lumpiness….

gotta love true 3d!!
ReplyDeleteFunny because I had a well known shaper that has cornered the market on some of the early labels from the 60's when he used to rent space from me before he launched the re labels. He didn't understand the concept of true 3d and rendering in 2D slices. He would mention that when ever he would get the milled shapes off the machine that used the 2d slice method he would be stoked that all his lumps were gone. lol.
