I recently made a board for a mate. 9 foot epoxy. At first he wanted something performancey around the 8 foot mark but when he saw the 9’2" low rocker blank I had ordered he just said “clean that up, keep all the volume”. I duly obliged. I thought the nose and tail were maybe a bit thick and chunky but he was so happy with the board when he saw it and rode it he decided off his own bat in gratitude to make a promotional video clip for me and stuck it on youtube. Very kind.
I had one go on the board myself and liked although personally at the moment I’m into Simmons, short wide boards, thin rails and designs like that.
I would be interested to know what folk here think of it (the board, the video and the whole thing).
Will this enhance or destroy my future as board maker?
Constructive criticism please.
