Cheers

 

 

Check out these sites and research every step on swaylocks.  I’ve only shaped 3 boards so far and this is what I did. You’ll find that everyone has their own approach so try to synthesize what you learn and do what makes sense.  None of my boards are perfect but I had a blast making them and they all work.  You’ll be stoked when you ride the first wave on your creation.  Have fun!
