Grant Newby's "the alley slider"!!!

grant sent this to me via surfapig@live.com
"Hi Mike, here is a couple of shots of a board I shaped for Christmas for myself. "The Alley Slider" ,  named after my local break and favouite Gold Coast beach. She is 10ft x 24" x 3 1/2" with the wide point 18" or more behind 1/2 way and a long concave running back to the wide point and a slight rolled v out through the kick in the tail. The rails are pinched but full as well to get the volume I was after. Nice glass job by Dan Mc Donald here on the Gold Coast. This board is so much fun to ride and seems to do everything I had hoped of it."




NICE ONE!!!   Thanks for the contribution Grant! Nice work!!
those shots of "the alley" made me think of some of Ron Stoner's shots (above) of Black's
