LUCY’S LIKENESS<br />
by Dave Porter | TREEHOUSE<br />
For the heavier surfer or<br />
anyone who likes a board<br />
that catches heaps of waves.<br />
Retro look and feel with a<br />
deep single concave running<br />
through most of the bottom.<br />
Custom orders welcome.<br />
CONSTRUCTION<br />
X 4<br />
South Coast Foam PU foam and<br />
polyster resin. Shapers Stealth<br />
S7 and S5fins<br />
SHAPER COMMENT<br />
My personal board for smaller<br />
waves, a bit shorter, a bit<br />
wider... A lot of fun making this.<br />
Single flier step-tail pin with<br />
a massive bonzer double<br />
concave. Quaddy set up and<br />
plug for Knubster.<br />
CONSTRUCTION 4 + 1<br />
All PU, handshaped and 2 x 4<br />
and 1 x 4 bottom with finish<br />
coat polish.<br />
SHAPER COMMENT<br />
Fastest board in the water from<br />
1 to 4 ft. Sweet.<br />
‘70s inspired traditional fi sh<br />
outline blended with modern<br />
rails, this board manages to<br />
hide plenty of volume. It has<br />
a fl attish rocker with a single<br />
to big double concave out<br />
through the tail.<br />
CONSTRUCTION 2 OR 4<br />
Burford blank with 6/4oz top and<br />
6oz bottom. Twin keels or quad.<br />
SHAPER COMMENT<br />
Fast and fun. The extra volume<br />
gives it plenty of paddle power<br />
and the twin keels give it plenty<br />
of speed and drive. Great in<br />
small waves, even better in<br />
head high long open faces.<br />
One for the ladies. Completely<br />
custom for Treehouse<br />
ambassador Lucy Farrier,<br />
currently making her way<br />
around Oz by tent and 4WD.<br />
CONSTRUCTION X 3<br />
Lightweight, stringerless EPS<br />
foam blank. Locally sourced<br />
Hoop Pine deck laminate.<br />
Durable epoxy resin and ‘S’<br />
glass. Futures thruster.<br />
SHAPER COMMENT<br />
Lucy wanted a board that was<br />
light and would paddle well,<br />
while still being easy to duckdive<br />
- something unique that reflected<br />
her smooth approach to surfing.<br />
Safe travels Lucy, we hope you<br />
have an amazing adventure and<br />
score heaps of great waves!<br />
