After about month of off on work, finally completed my first stick. Next question, how will she ride? Jury is still out! Hopefully test run very soon… Exothermed the future fin boxes, thus turned board into glass-on set up. Learned alot about the fine craft of shaping through the helpful friends on swwaylocks… Thanks for all your help and my bro for helping along the way…
Cheers and happy wave hunting

Hey Pat, cool board, nice surfing pic too, great to have your first board completed, thus the addiction begins! 
thanks Huck! Stoked to say, “yeah I built it”… The addiction begins you say
The board in the action shot doesn’t look like the board you built?
Also the nose outline looks a bit radical, you could try http://www.blendingcurves.com/ for templates to start with…
But pretty good first effort. My first board was a total dog haha!! I definietly didn’t try a resin tint…well done.
Nice going Pat! I am glad you were able to solve your finbox issues and finish the board.
Looking forward to a ride report.
Solid ! Can we get some close up’s of the resin? Maybe the one with your brother holding it:)
marsh- yeah nose is def a bit on the radical side indeed… I told myself all along it looks off, but then told myself Im not get gonna get a perfect stick on first around :)… and yes different board in picture… just showing local spot I surf… Thanks though, resin swirl I got lucky with… cheers
too follow shortly.
jrandy- thanks mate- Felt good to finish especially after having some setbacks… Next board will hopefully run a tad smoother…
Great first board, my first one floated but looked awful & was a dog of a board! It’s now a bench… well done on finishing #1 I’m positive they’ll be more! Wanna get a ride report too. Aonaibh ri chiele Alba
right on- hoping for the best, not looking for the “magic board” on this creation :)… I hope there is more to follow as well… Thanks
