Please do

some pics
but camera broke down after some shots...so you have to do it with these

carbon rails, bamboo deck
boards sizes. 100(lightwind play in the wave's), 85 and 75 liter
sandwich/ double under feet --done by Quatro -neighbour of sean
they did also the antislip+pads
// Raw eps foam came from Nelson, so it's The Haiku Pauwely Cannery Combo


shape+ glassing/bamboo-ing(resin art) by Sean (optimized strenght /weight/flex)
new version of the fish board: The Guppy
the "sailboard" edition of his surfboards.



Why no 2,3 or 4 fin? Well it is allready so loose and snappy in the pocket of the wave, so I just didn't need it.
You sail these boards with small fins. rails and shape (+rider )do the rest

nice toys david

DAAAAAAAAAMN They are beautiful! Makes me wanna sell my magic sticks... (naaah, they're too good)

I have the R99 and the classic 88. Have you already tested them? can you point out some main differences between the boards?

Are they based on a standard shape or afe these full tailormade customs??

Magnificent !
David how much did one Ordonez custom board cost you ?

La finition a l'air à tomber . Le look est carrement unique, avoir un custom à ses mesures avec un look et une signature pareil, ça tue !

Les planches sont carément maginifiques!

Cuici sait se servir de ses 10 doigts. Pas manchots le pepere!!!!!!

C'est à tomber esthetiquement ces planches. Sobre et de bon goût sans fioriture.

Ca change des planches poncées qui ressemble plus à des pare-chocs de Renault 25 tunées...

Juste magnifique!

Nice boards mate!
And those are for "happy few" only!
That's not the kind of stuff you find on every beach!

I guess we'll see your waves tools in action down here soon!

Pierre, give me 2 weeks... and I'll be at your doorstep

@ tiki
The boards are all tailormade-- I gave loads of info what i wanted/searched for.. but also what board I was riding (easy cause i know all the sos boards)
But Sean also came in with his ideas/visons. And as he is a master in shaping I give him the full freedom

The boards are based on all the high performance surfboards he makes nowadays

The boards are like the fishes but with a bit of classic inside. Fast, loose and super direct.

@ anowan.
as for the prices
I'm not totally sure, but I thought Sean charges for his "normal construction" custom sailboards: 1800 USD = 1350 euro
A custom Bamboo/carbon construction: 2400 USD = 1800 euro
so if you compare that to the stock factory boards.......

* The boards are not the easy take out of the rack factory boards, so to get one, you need a longer traject.... but that give's it all the magic/joy.
At least a great excuse to go to maui

Quelques marques proposeront du bambou l'an prochain en série (au moins deux)

Mat, There are so many ways to use "wood+bamboo" in surfboards. Most are just optical paper thin veneer. If you use some materials in the right way, you can ad some livity/flex/pop in your board

Sean showed me how strong the "orange/bamboo" longboard was. He turned deck down, and jumped on the bottum and started jumping on it with his full body weight. it kept on flexing without a crack. Than he jumped off, and the board bounced some times up. So it keeps on flexing
I was really amazed. Those carbon/bamboo surfboards are also shaped way thinner than normal ones, due to their pop/flex

T1 utilisera aussi du bamboo dans ces planches:

Bon THommen ca fait une, la la deuxieme ça serait pas *board par hasard?? Il commence à bien gerer eux le bois à force non???
