I started building a board with my son about 2 years ago. We worked on the 9'6" long board and the surf bug bit me. I decided with my background in carpentry, that I could do this for a living. It's funny how your kids get you involved in things you never thought you'd be involved in.
Saw a picture of a fish and said to myself, "I could build that." From just a brochure, I designed the stringer, ribs, and decking with a slight modification to the tail in order to channel water flow. It'll be interesting to see how the completed board rides in the water.
So, how's the fish coming along?
ReplyDeleteI actually started two fishes. One is a 6'6" with 2" rocker and thick rails. The 5'10" fish has a lower rocker by 1/2 inch and thinner rails. When I get pictures taken, I'll post them. -R
