Hello I just shaped my 1st shortboard after years of dreaming about it. The dim are 6’4 13x20x15x2.5, So how did it come out for a first time board, what could of been done better any mistakes seen? Any help would be great!
good-lookin’ board!..great-lookin’ workshop!!
…wish i had a place like that to work in :-\
looks good. shaping is the area where your problems are easy to correct, glassing. now that is the hard part
looks like a ferkin rocket mate
id love one
great work for your first board
wish mine were that clean
that board will work in a broad range of conditions
which is what you want.
all that volume
you will be paddling rings around your mates
but i cant see your rocker from those pics
now just glass it in epoxy
and it will be even better.
the best thing about that board is that it will work better than a fish in small waves
and still rip in some juice
and when your mates try it and relize it catches waves and paddles better then their potao chips
they will rate you as a shaper
and you can bathe in the glory

Your first board looks great! It shows that you have put some time and effort into your design.
On a side note - I’d try not to lay your sanding pad side down on your right angle sander. You will end up with a flat spot that will give you trouble.

Nice job! Is that your shop?
man i wish that was my shop, It’s mike whisnant’s shop. I have to give mike a big thanks for the use of his tools and knowledge that the JC videos leave out.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with that board. It’s nice.
Glass it yourself!!!
