Surfriding Broke boys sn build

[Jesseduval]

Hey all So I finally started on this build a few months ago and im starting to get some progress so i figured its time to start a thread to get some input from you guys. The X made me go for it!

So i started out with a 1991 squarenose. The plan was to rocker the front, cut a few off the rear, chop the hood, move the pole forward and throw some sponsons on it. Thought it'd be a pretty quick lil project but damn was i wrong. 3 months in and barely half way there but i found more motivation to get this thing done. Hopefully be ready to ride by the pismo freeride in march!

Let me know what you think!
Sorry half the pictures are upside down or sideways idk why it uploaded them like that.

Heres what i started with:

And heres what i have gotten done so far
Quite a bit of finish work to do but pretty stoked on how it looks mocked up

Yea,this place has an effect on wanting to tear apart a ski and make it more rideable.Looks good so far! Don't be afraid to ask questions either.There are a few guys on the X that can give you some great advise!

Keep pushing and don't give up

Yeah man, I basically just gutted all the drain stuff from the inside then cut it almost flush with the body line that was on the side and taped over the holes i cut out so i could glass it from the inside... Im actually putting on the last bit of glass on the top of it today, should be finished with it in a day or two. Good luck with your build!

So after a little break for a couple weeks and then sanding on the hull for a couple weeks everyday after work i finally have the top side of the hull primed and almost ready for paint.. All i have left to sand on the hull is the bottom side then finish up the hood! Super stoked on how shes lookin so far! Cant wait to drop the motor and pump in and take er for a rip! Should get it painted this weekend and be able to make it to the pismo freeride in a couple weeks! A few more brewskiis and I’ll get it goin! Thanks everyone for the help!

Nice to see another Central Coast SN.
I’m down in Santa Maria.

Got the engine bay all dialed in.. didnt feel like sanding it perfectly smooth so just splattered it to hide the the imperfections.. came out pretty cool tho, just gotta do some finishing sanding then throw some paint on it tomorrow. The end is near!

Looks like theres a party going on down there!
