hey guys im about to start building a board for a friend who has no surfing experience. I have an 8’ blank that is 3" thick and 24" wide. what kind of board do you reccomend I build?
I guess that depends on which blank you have, but at 3" thick I’d just skin it, clean it up, put in a fin box and glass it. Should work for a beginner fine, unless they weigh 250-300 lbs. If that’s the case, try a different blank with more volume.
Ride on,
Tom
work in as much nose scoop as possible.
