Glass Tiger, is run by me Mark Roberts.

I make bespoke, custom, wood/EPS, surfboards that are not externally glassed.

The boards are constructed with hard wood veneers and hard wood parabolic rails, over an EPS blank.

I set up this blog to document the latest boards, developments, and generally any other stuff thats in the mix.

The government wants to sell off more than half of our national forests to private firms. This could mean ancient woodlands are chopped down and ruined. Wildlife would have to make way for Centre Parcs style holiday villages, golf courses and commercial logging.

We need to stop these plans. Ancient forests like The Forest of Dean and Sherwood Forest are national treasures - once they are gone, they will be lost forever.

A huge petition will force the government to rethink its plans. If we can prove how strongly the public are against this, they will have to back down. Please sign the petition now.

The template is based on the Cambell brothers POD out line, clean and simple with a 21 1/2'' central wide point. It has a thinned tail, with a 'hump' to accommodate the fin box.
The bottom contours and fin set up are traditional 5 fin bonzer layout with channels between the side fins...

I was locking up the shed tonight and then saw this back lit stack of boards through the door way... things change when the clocks go back.
