Boom Surfboards SOME VIDS OF THE BOARDS IN ACTION AND THE HOUSE http://youtu.be/Oo4H26mkpy4 http://youtu.be/JaOmm8mI3HI
I hope you can take "constructive" criticism as well as the positive. The board shapes don't look too bad and the printed logos are fine (although, a bit childish with the google-eyed character)...hand drawn lettering is a big mistake, for the most part ...but, dude, those paint jobs will put you out of business in a nano-second. Either find someone who can do a decent airbrush, or don't paint them (unless a customer custom orders a specific paint scheme). I'd never put that much black on a board, either, it makes wax melt and will heat up/delaminate a board faster than you think I'm going to be blunt and say these are the ugliest boards I've ever seen...you'd have to pay me to ride one
I agree with Waterbaby, resin color jobs are very bad but the shapes look pretty good. I know you put this in the classifieds section but just be careful, it is a big no no to advertise new products or your business on SI without getting permision from the admin. We do not want this place turing in to a sales site. You will see the approved ones like WhiskeyMalitia stickied up top of the forum. SI admin may shut ya down dude. PS swirl colors should look sort of like this IMO
don't give up on your dream! ignore waterbaby....he gets his windows broken constantly by the locals where he lives and is the epitome of a shallow, advertisement driven existence. if your not ...Lost he ain't having it. one of those guys. so keep shaping!
"keep shaping"?...more hypocrisy. Ocaen0 quit shaping decades ago when no one would ride them...including himself Makes sense now: 00 is riding Boom surfboards, but was ashamed to tell us. Those "resin tint" jobs are actually 00 vomit, which is in such abundance.
Thanks , especially if you were into them, glad I could show you some of what I've been up to. The boards i make are function first. i really do appreciate criticism, its basically as if i have a free focus group. I work directly with my weavers and suppliers and only work with aerospace grade materials. Epoxy is not only much harder to work with, but it also becomes a challenge of its own when you start implementing coloring plus putting all of that design under pressure. Sometimes spots mud but overall I'm stoked with them and I stay pretty busy shaping... Who wants to make white boards all the time? A lot of what I'm into now is the distressed effect where I laminate then in a consecutive coat I can mask a design with a second color then expose in the sanding stage. Some people like, some don't... I do so I'm gonna keep doing it. The yellow and black board is yellow in the lam with a black cheater coat. It weighs just under 4 1/2 pounds. I glassed that around Halloween Andean feeling an eerie finish , was pretty stoked on keeping everything simple color wise ... I'm very happy with how it came out. The green funboard was exposed carbon. I took the pics down not being a vag, I just don't see a reason further procure forum hate. If you aren't into my boards it's cool, others are. I'm not that big into forums and I'm normally at the shop or on the island so if you ever wanna talk designs swing by. Your right the videos suck and our boards do too.
