First Board Lake Erie Version

Finally, I finally finished my first board it is 6'4" 22 1/2" 2 3/4" thick. Home Depot EPS Retro Fish handmade Keels(well maybe they are keels)  I tried any ways. I took it on vacation to Carolina beach,nc and had a blast. People were giving me odd looks one guy even asked why I made the board so thick and also why so little rocker. Then when I told him it is made for Lake Erie Mushy Wind slop with freash water he got the idea. I am preety happy with everything. I also want to thank Brian at greenlight for all the help. And i know a while back people questioned his Vented leash plug I have one and left the board in the car after a surf on 93 degree day in NC and no delams or anything. So brian Thanks again on that part. Why spend $5 for a leash plug when you can spend $9.99 for a leash plug and a vent in one. But thanks again for the help Brian. It's not great but I know some things will be done differantly next time. Please feel free to voice your opinion on my board let me know some of the things I did wrong and so forth thanks guys.

2 3/4 isnt really the thickest fish around and you enjoyed the surf. Excellent.

Hey Dan,

Board looks great! There's absolutely nothing wrong with a thicker board. It works well right? I made myself a 2 7/8" x 22" fish for summer slop and guess what - I have a blast on it.

Anyone that gives you strange looks for making a board with your own vision and style obviously has no clue. You can spray them as you cruise by while they're scratching for waves on their pro-model chips.

Thanks for sharing pics of your new board
