ok so im thinking of shaping my first board in boston mass (where i live in the winter) and im only a teenager. however my dad is an electrician so i have a wide variety of tools that are at my reach. do you think it is wise for me to try and make my first board or just continue buying professionaly shaped boards. right now im riding a mattkechele 6’0" squish and i snapped the nose off of it twice and it still rides well but i was thinking of having my own board just to have a second for when the waves get a little bigger
if i were to go build a board, what is the best online manual to do it? i have checked out a few and they all seem similar but it would be good to have someones personal prefrence
Tough to answer whether ‘you’ should build one or just buy. You probably have the tool end of it covered, your Dad sounds like a hands on person for help, and any question you would have can be answered right here. Why not go for it? I will say there’s nothing like riding a board that you made yourself.
