This site is an amazing resource. I’d like to thank all the folks that have contributed their time and knowledge so that people like me can feel confident in buying a blank, some resin and glass cloth and feel like the stuff won’t go to waste. Here are some pics of my 1st board (a SUP)
The dims are 8’x30" by 4.25ish at rails (3,75ish at center)
The board has very heavy V in tail, with chined rails around the fin area, fading to full round towards the middle and nose.
The deck has about 5/8" of scoop
2x6oz. E-glass top and bottom
It weighs in at 18.7 lbs with pad and fins
The board rips! Very fast, turns on a dime, extremely stable once it gets moving.
I had some problems along the way, but nothing so major that i couldn’t fix it and keep the project rolling :D
