Reshaping the nose of a $50 surfboard I picked up

General Discussion
1

Hey I just bought this surfboard 6’4x19x2 2/3 for $50 it’s about 4-5 inches longer than I’d like it to be and the nose seems excessively long so my idea to reshape it and make it roughly 5 inches shorter

Let me know what you guys think and if it’s a good idea how would you go about resealing it?

To get as close to seamless a curve as possible, I would create a half-template from nose to widepoint using the original width/widepoint.
Just my $0.2

When you say nose do you mean where I want the new nose to be and then trace it down to the wide?

Yes.
But I would create a a half-nose template (quarter template) to get a symmetrical outline.
Maybe use a nose section from a “Blending Curves” template.
