I thought shaping the blank was a lot of fun. The devil was in the glassing.

The first glass coat was the worst for me.

how about some groovy transluscent fins?

Just finished the bottom gloss coat tonight. The heater's cranking in the garage so I should be able to gloss the top tomorrow.

Only have cheapo fins right now, I'll try bartering on CL for a decent set.

More pics manana.

seems like after you do one, you should do another right away to burn those skills in. Me I did one and may do another some 2 years later.

it is not free. I enjoyed the process, and think another board would come out better, prettier, sexier, stronger... but I can buy a board off the shelf as cheap as I can make one.

Why would you buy one off of the rack when you can have an asymmetric board with rails in a form hitherto unridden by humanity, in a resin tint that's splotchy, a tail that looks like a nose, crooked fins, and an overoptimistic shortness relative to one's abilities? I mean, you would be missing the boat big time.

I would like to know where you could get a new board for < $200

Here's the finished product, pretty much. *edited for picture issue*:
