This is a Son Of Sam model Spencer Kellogg and I put together for Paul Castaneda. It's loosely based on Nat Young's 1966 Magic Sam board. Scheduled for first go out this Sunday, the 30th.
9'2'' x 22 1/4" x 3 1/8"
6-4 Volan bottom
6-6 Volan deck, with a 6 Volan deck patch

Update from PC, evening of the 30th...
Hi Paul & Spencer,
I just wanted to give you guys a update on my initial paddle out on my new board.
I
ended up setting the back of the fin at 6 3/4” from the tail block and
it seemed to work great in this morning's conditions.
Initially paddling
was smooth and balanced. I felt the board lift in the front when
paddling into waves, which, Spence, you mentioned would happen, so I just
corrected my positioning on the board to accommodate for that. I had
no problem getting up on take offs and the bottoms turns are smooth and
drawn out. No jerky transitions when elevating up to the face of the
wave and stepping up towards the nose of the board, I could definitely
feel it switching gears. It has to be one of the smoothest boards I’ve
ever ridden.
Thank you,
Paul
