@trev1582 it's what you'd expect from a board that's a little heavy - so it handles chop well, duck-dives great and holds a decent line... definitely not a high performance board though...

How did it handle when you took it out?

Definitely go the extra mile to do some research on materials, the process, yada yada yada... I'll try to post replies faster too if you have questions.
I think more work needs to be done to keep it from delaminating now too... I got some splitting in one of the boards. If you're thinking about making one of these: 1. Use a waterproof glue or epoxy 2. Install a vent plug in the top before you glue it to the other layers so the pressure can release

@slashdude44 Yup... rather than try to shape it I bent it... and yes, the board will definitely hold it's shape that way...
I've seen some videos online where people will actually shape a wooden board, usually with balsa or koa wood or something, but it wastes a lot of material and although I never did it myself I think it would take a heck of a long time...

@slashdude44 sounds pretty awesome... I can't believe it took you a solid year! If you have pictures or a video I'd like to see...

hey, ive been surfing for along time and have quite a few boards, but none like this... how much do you think you would charge to make me one of these??

@SuperSurfergirly The materials are inexpensive but it still takes me 40 to 50 hours to do one... I think I'd be asking about $850... You're welcome to come try one out especially on a winter saturday in NJ... let me know...
