Hi all, finally got some clear coat on the retro Simmons. I am happy with the way it came out, tried to create the look of the scarfed nose boards that Bob Simmons had so much fun with, surfboard evolution really took off from this point!! Its dimensions are 7' 3 3/4" x 23, got 3" rocker up front the 2" on the back, made from Paulonia and Cedar with a 4mm marine ply internal frame, classic 'S' deck with a vee rail all the way through, FCS plugs right on the tail block and rail, weighs in at about 13Lbs, bottom is as flat as a skimstone so should pin the ears back!!!! I tried to get it finished and sold for an auction event that Abergavenny Road cycling club organised but ran out of time, good to see the old guard there and great to see and catch up with the home grown cycling pro's Julian Winn and Richard Wooles. The monies raised raised went to the Welsh Air Ambulance which came to the aid of another great rider Graham Edwards after being mowed down outside Raglan. If you like keep an eye on my facebook for details of the sale and highest bidder wins I guess......cheers
