[=1][ 3]EPS stringerless retro fish[/] [/] Edit | Delete | Quote | Reply Well here it goes, I’ve got my foam from Home depot along with some glue and the Lis 5’5" dimensions. This is my second board I will be shaping, the first was a copy of Al Merricks MSFG2 and although it is not pretty (I tried to airbrush the foam) it rides like a dream. For this next board I am going for the cheapest and easiest board possible, the retro fish. Right know I am working on the template I am taking the Lis 5’5" dimensions and stretching it to 5’8" as I am 6ft 200lbs and 25 years old and think the 5’5" may be a little short. I’ll tell you all how it goes along with pictures as soon as I have enough material to share. Also, how long do I have to let the glued blank set before I can shape the board with the rocker in it?
I’m 25 years old and originally from Iowa, yea can you believe it? I know go to school at Cal Poly Pomona and will graduate in a week or two. I just finished a copy of Al Merricks MSFG2. It was the first board I ever attempted and I couldn’t believe how well it rode. I typically ride a short thruster but now I’m all retro!
