Planking is 10mm instead of 7 to 8mm, blocking extends into the board further ( also required for the 'pinched' or elliptical rail section) and there is more solid blocking in the tail area.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe extra weight means more effort is required to carry and paddle the board, but that is more than offset by the fact that it is there when it is needed i.e. at all times when riding the wave and particularly in strong offshore or bumpy conditions.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRiding the Dragon was a unique experience and I'm looking forward with slight trepidation to doing it again.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHere's the third of four Dragon Board panels being made today:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttp://olosurfer-woodensurfboardsatpipeline.blogspot.com/2012/01/mighty-water-dragon-part-2-building-and.html"], ["35340", "423", "Mighty Water Dragon:", 2, "Jook", "Jan 23, 2012", "2012-01-23T00:01:28-0500", "What happened to the original Dragon?  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat board that you have made is your favorite to ride?"], ["35474", "423", "Mighty Water Dragon:", 3, "Roy Stewart", "Jan 25, 2012", "2012-01-24T19:13:22-0500", "Hi Jook, \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe original board was sold back in 2003 to a surfing museum for three square meals.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt's hard to pick a single favourite because it is usually the one I'm riding."], ["36711", "423", "Mighty Water Dragon:", 4, "Roy Stewart", "Feb 25, 2012", "2012-02-25T16:17:46-0500", "The final panel in place two days ago, she's in one piece now.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttp://youtu.be/hqfaB2NBBDw"], ["36712", "423", "Mighty Water Dragon:", 5, "pilau", "Feb 25, 2012", "2012-02-25T16:36:27-0500", "Water dragon = spirited away"], ["37368", "423", "Mighty Water Dragon:", 6, "Roy Stewart", "Mar 28, 2012", "2012-03-27T21:29:48-0400", "Fairing the plan shape\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttp://olosurfer-woodensurfboardsatpipeline.blogspot.co.nz/2012/03/shaping-dragon-board-step-one-fairing.html\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage processing.
