Mi first template and surfboard (made by me)

General Discussion

Hi all, sorry for my english I wanted to ask advice on what will be my first template and will become the first board shapead by me. I have 38 years old and my Weight is 175 lbs and my height is 5’9’', 80% of the time surfing in “Pampilla” in Lima (Peru), there are waves of 3 to 6 feet and medium strength, and the remaining time I surfing in Punta Rocas and Caballeros also in Lima but I have a performance shortboard for these waves.

He had thought about shaping a boardin Epoxy with the following measures: 5’10’’ x 14 ‘1/2 x 21’ x 15 ‘1/2 with a thickness of 2’ 3/4 and a Rounded Square Tail, with a single concave.

I believe that these measures comply with my weight, height and type of wave that I surf, but would give me your opinion because I want my first board (made by me) will be the best.

I welcome your comments

 

Regards

Coco,

I have focused all my energy learning to build longboards during my years here at Sways so I really can't confirm or give you any advice on your board. I will tell you this... Your first board is one that you want to put every effort in making it the best board ever made! It is very special.  Don't  rush through any step during the process or take short cuts. Be mythodical in every thing you do and plan every step before you do it. You'll be stoked on the first ride, first tube, and you will never stop building boards. THIS is what this palce is all about! Stoked for ya!
