If it works, I´ll give the outline and rocker;
After all I didn´t invented anything....
Are you borrowing someone’s shop? I see a lot of boards in the background.

Luis, just a tiny suggestion: next time, try to tape off the stringer before spraying color. leaving the stringer “natural” looks better. Otherwise, it looks fine. Photos of outline and rocker, when/if you can shoot some?

…looks very good for a first board
did you made the glass work too?
you say at 10" I think you refer to 12".
Say to your friend that the boards should be rest in 3 point racks not 4

The complete glassing was his work; I sand a lot and gave the last coat;
My participation on this board was little because I only work on the shape;
I made only measurements, correct them, made a lot of corrections and I´m going to polish and finish it.
This board was my first participation at "part-time"; the next will be full-time;
The measurements I gaved were made at 10", but I will give you at 12"
But one thing; I know how to work with epoxy resins because I make RC;
