    Damn Tom - Nice looking board for a big man. Just curious, what kind of blank do you use for something like this?

    I had to use the 9'3" A US Blank to get the 24" width but I had to cut off over 2 ' in length in the tail, the first pic is what I started with the tail and the second pic is almost to completion with the re foiling the entire blank, I love doing stuff like this.

    That's a crazy big blank... nice work getting to "the shape inside."

    Nice planer, too, brother. How does it compare to the skil?

    No comparison, this is a Skil on steroids, haven't touched my Skils in over a year and a half since I got this. Great planer, great comany, made in the USA

    Another top quality board Mr. Mahady. Beautiful. Is that your Lineup Killer model scaled up or a fresh template? Also is the board designed to be ridden as a 5 finner or a convertable?

    Tom,

    I grew up with Geno and I know he is going to be stoked with this board. I saw the last one he got from you and it was really nicely made.

    Ihatelongboarders - hopefully you were just joking. You obviously have never seen or met Gene. The guy is 6'3 260 lbs of pure muscle and without a doubt someone you would not want to mess with. He was a semi-pro hockey player for years and I have seen him first hand drop guys on and off the ice with a single punch. He is pretty mellow now however and one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Anyway - great job shaping an AWSOME big boy board for QUIGZ.

    Jim

    Jim,
    Gene came to the shop tonight and picked it up, the look on his face was priceless. I'm honored to have him ride my boards
    Brian,
    This is a new model I came up with and yes you can ride it as a 5 fin, quad or thruster, I put on larger fins so when Gene buries the rail he won't slide out when it gets big
