Whatsup guys, it’s finally time to shape my first board! I want to get started with a longboard of a model that is easy to shape. I was thinking either between teh 9’8 S or the 9’4 B. I was hoping I could get some feedback on these or any others that you recommend in the 9’ range. I was also wondering what rocker is easiest to work with. At this stage I’m not concerned about a “good nose-rider” or a “fast-paddler” just looking for the easiest board to crank out for the first time. If you have any advice email me at I appreciate it!

Makes a good tanker and a real nice HPLB… It’s the best one for all around LB shapes. The deck has no real foiling issue in the nose or the tail. If i grab a extra blank for a stock LB it’s a 9’1Y. http://surfnwsc.com
