I'm a guy outside Chicago who spends a few weeks a year in San Diego surfing, am an ok surfer but have never shaped, don't have cabinet-makers skills, and have no nearby surfboard shops to go into to ask advice . . . the last one whose first project should be building a hollow wooden board. I tried it nonetheless and now that I'm done it was awesome. My understanding of board features, characteristics and trade-offs as well as my appreciation for those who actually know how to do this has skyrocketed.

Glassing update

Spoke with Moonlight Glassing last week. Since I won't be in town again until late May, they're doing exactly what they indicated they'd do, i.e., taking their time so that the resin cures correctly.  They were routing and placing the center fin box and then it'll go to final glassing and polishing.  I'll beg them for pics.
