Our first longboard takes shape

We made a jig for the 10" fin box. After we figured out how to hold it still we had pretty good results.

After the last hot coat the board gets a thorough inspection.

More pics from the weekend

Ari sent some photos he took over the weekend. This is a typical scene early on. Lots of foam and racks everywhere as we rough shape the blanks.


One of my favorite parts.....picking out the blanks.

This year we were treated to a great surf movie out back by the campfire. The shaping shed doubled as a movie screen!

Derek finishes up his first board.

Ben shows off his work before packing up for the flight home.


Meanwhile, back in the shed Greg puts the first hot coat on the family longboard
