This is probably the biggest Alien we have ever made . The order was a custom for Mark G who is a big lad ,around the 115kg and requested :
"I snapped my old faithful and I want as much volume as possible , even more if possible but I don't want a mini mal kind of something updated as my everyday go to board ,the (broken board) replicated please ! "
The Dimensions are 7'4 by 22 3/4 by 3 1/4 . The old faithful broken board was a Sky Surfboards from Byron Bay , it was really nicely shaped board .
The process to make this custom surfboard as the outline of Marks old faithful was very similar to the Alien . A "High Performance style fish" .
This board is made from a blank which normally we order in , it takes an extra 2 weeks to get one .
With the special blank which has a thicker stringer I can get 5 inches of nose rocker and 2 1/2 tail curve / rocker . I also widened the tail pod outline slightly (its over 16 inches at the 12inch mark and added a fair bit of volume through the nose foil .
Volume is 59 litres . Looks nice with the thicker stringer (mid production).
Its designed to be a user friendly performance fish for large surfer , who likes the extra foam !
