Made all these today. First ever

The bigger bellyboard is a previous project




Coats of urethane followed by. Linseed oil in following days

Rebel with a cause! Thanks for posting

thanks duder! looking for major design flaws if someone can point any out, not trying to use a shitty design twice these are all pretty different

Only way to know is to ride them! Let us know.

Well if you’re really searching for design flaws, as FH said the only way to know is to surf them. 

I can tell you right now though that particle board is an awful choice for building materials, and those plywood alais have more knots in them than a knitted sweater. Most likely going to create all kinds of drag if you don’t figure out how to get the bottom smooth. An alaia relies on a smooth bottom with limited friction - what you have is like a snowboard with a bunch of snags in the base: when you ride it it’s gonna keep pulling in all kinds of directions. 

 

But yeah, gotta surf them to know for sure

Also, one more potential design flaw would be your insane number of huge embedded photos crashing my computer lol

This is the level of crafstmanship I hope to achieve, some day.
