The board i made that rides like a pig

Hey this was a chrimbo present a couple or years ago, well not this the blank. But after a lot of blood sweat and tears i produced a pig of a board. Alas i didn't have the foresite to take the pics of all the stages so here's the finished bit of pork. Oh dimensions 6'9''x19 1/2''x2 1/4''

The rocker, man that was hard

The fin positioning, wow and i thought the rocker was hard, dog for sale if anyone wants one.

Image

Oh, and why not let someone else make one for you.

I'm kinda joking, apart from the over use of resin, and the slight fin misplacement i think this would have been o.k. The boards heavy as f00k

Yep TC first and probably last, unless i get a lot more free time, i haven't ridden it for over a year now so i must give it another blast.
I just copied another board i have and just reduced the dimensions slightly.
