It was hideously brown and probably about 10' 2, but after a bit of a scratch with sandpaper i found that under the surface it was still nice and white. I had to cut it down to 9'4 to even get into our little flat, with the intention of making a low rocker log.
However, one night I impulsively took a saw to the middle and cut it, giving me a nice 5'2 blank and a not so nicely rockered 4'2. In hindsight if I knew I was going to chop it up I would have done that first and saved those precious 8 inches I initially sawed off!
Anyway, the 5'2 became the white mini simmons a few posts below, and I've had this 4'2 block of foam lying around for a while.
Luckily it was so thick that I could plane it flat, and then plane in a whole new rocker profile, and the end result is this little paipo for my son Mawgan. Dimensions are 4'2 x 22 x 2.75, so plenty of volume!
4'2 stand up paipo
It will have FCS plugs giving the option of going finless too.
Unfortunatly I'm not allowed to ride it until he does!
