MAKING YOUR OWN BOARD

[Ahid]

I was wondering about making a surfboard myself... But I got some problems... Does anyone know how to calculate Floatation and the curvature of the bottom ?

Thanx

get yourself a blank. they cost about 150 english notes.
Floatation and rocker are affected by differnt kinds of waves but i to size it correctly takes years of experience.

I think youve just gotta have a go first time round see how it surfs and modify from there.

look at a few videos
glassing 101 and shaping 101 these should help

A blank for 150 quid??? you could get 4 blanks for that, you would get the entire kit for around 130 quid, that includes everything you need to make it, except experiance.
