Hey so I was thinking of shaping a board for myself I was kind of wondering about some methods to practice before I actually start working on my plank i’ve never made a board before but I’ve been working as a stone fabricator for five years I don’t know how many similarities are between the two but I would like some tips and pointers for a beginner thank you
foam goes away FAST. Use a very gentle touch. Jump in and enjoy the trip!

Your question is pretty open-ended since we don’t know what you know so to speak.
Maybe have a read through an overview of the board building process on a website such as:
https://greenlightsurfsupply.com/pages/greenlight-surfboard-building-guide-a-z
and go from there. After that it’s watch some other people shape and get some materials and get busy.
No shame in ordering a kit of materials and following a simple plan for board #1.
I think u should shape one out of pumice first, then move to foam later, haha.
do what Jrandy says. spend some time on youtube. if you are good with your hands, you will be OK.
all the best
