Previous boards..

Here's a sample of some of the boards I've made in the last year.

9'3 fabric inlay noserider; 7'2 fun board; 5'9 mini simmons; 9'0 performance log

5'9, 5'5 and 5'2

5'9 diamond tail single fin and 5'8 square tail thruster

I have improved since the first board, but what annoys me looking back at these boards is that I make the same mistakes over and over again. Simple tasks such as sanding all laps and corners before the hot coat, and not using enough resin. I also have a tendency to leave too much volume in the boards with regards to thickness; only the last 2 boards have been much more foiled and an overall slimmer profile.

Hopefully by documenting progress with each board I can avoid mistakes, and not rush into the next step.

With our new baby in the house I definitely will have less time in the garage to make boards, so perhaps I can think things through and plan a little better!
