Here is a detailed picture of the contents

Survival Board

The guys at Every third Thursday have done it again and this time have made a snowboard pretty much for the things that I have been researching for my project.

Enjoy!

Surfboard

This summer I decided to deign and construct my own surfboard. It is the first one that I have attempted and has been a success as I took it out for its maiden voyage last week and have been for a few shreds since then.
The board was constructed and shaped from a foam blank, I then Fibre glassed it fitted the plugs and gave it a paint job and gloss coat. I will update this post with a video soon clearly showing the making process, but until then here are a few pictures.

A Trophy for a friend

For 4 years now we have been holding a skiing and snowboarding competition for all of the Scottish universities at the dryslope in Aberdeen. Unfortunately one of our riders and a good friend of mine passed away last year so we decided to make a memorial trophy for him.
The base is made from a simple log, cut, sanded and varnished. I had intended to use an old pair of his bindings but they had already been given away for someone to get the good out of them.
The trophy will be on display at the Aberdeen Snowsports centre for years to come ensuring that the memory of James Burn lives on.
