Shaping my first board

Postby AndreyLittle » Fri Jan 15, 2021 1:21 pm

Hey everyone so I am shaping my first board. I am going to replicate a shortboard I had that sadly lost to delamination. The board was a 5'9 7S super fish Series II. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a template for this board to shape it? If not I know how to make one but im also just lazy lolol. Thank you in advance!

There is so much more than the outline that goes into making a board. Sounds like you are starting off this project with way too little information. But on the other hand it's likely to be a great benefit to you to attempt this in terms of understanding boards.
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

Is someone going to glass the shaped blank you made or you are going to glass it up yourself ?

Wouldn't be easier to just strip and re-glass the original 7S super fish ?
