Coffin creation

From working with Artist Angela Cockayne on the Dominion project to build the eco surfboard / artwork 'ishmael's raft' I was intrigued by the sensation of riding a surfboard with parallel rails. The 7'2 and 4' coffin shaped boards came a success, however at the risk of damaging were not possible to test.

Using a old blank I had lying around I shaped a smaller version of the coffin I produced for Angela's Moby Dick project.

This experimental board is 5'2 with a shallow channel around the eco comp single fin.
 
Whether it is more of a body board than surfboard is questionable, will have to get someone considerably smaller than me to test it out and will report back at a later date.
