Surfing Waves

Hi,

I put this on swaylocks, but thought i`d put some of this on here to as this is where i browse around normally

I`ve always wanted to get into shaping and finally decided to give it a go a few weeks ago - i just finished my first board at the weekend and am really pleased with the outcome! Its a 6'9" board with a swallow tail and a quad fin setup. Its hopefully got plenty of float in there with a good width and depth as i tend to surf at saunton sands where it can sometimes be a bit messy.

Here`s the pics of the progress -





























There you go -a few mistakes and lessons learnt along the way, but very pleased with it - next on the agenda will be a kitesurf board i think

Excellent stuff, it should pick up waves nice and easily.

yep - lets hope so - test ride this weekend hopefully!

nice one man, thats quite inspiring!

good work! nothing like riding your own board!

Looks nice mate

took the board out at saunton on sunady and i have to say i was pleasantly surprised - it catches waves really easily and rides very well too! too be honest, i`d go as far to say i prefer it to my 7'6" mini mal as it turns easier than that.

i may fit some slightly smaller fins to the back to 2 to make it a bit looser though - great fun. next one will be a kitesurf board! just bought the airbrushing 101 dvd while i was up there - was very intersting viewing!
cheers, mike
